Selecting Cars and Trains

If there are any trains on a layout, then one of them is always designated the "selected train."  This is the one

• which appears in the train window on the control panel
• which is being controlled by the control panel, toolbar, and Train menu
• whose name appears checkmarked in the Train menu

To select a train: (a) click any car in the train, or (b) choose it from the Train menu.

At any given time there may be at most one "selected car" on the layout.  If a car is selected:

• a green X is shown on the car top
• an orange line is shown under the car in both of the train windows
• the uncoupling pin is positioned before or after the car

To select a car: (a) click its image on the layout, or (b) click its icon in a train window.  When you select a car, you also select its train.

To unselect the car: click a blank space on the layout, or the blank space behind the train in the train window.
