Small Canal Lock 5 narrow

Small Canal Lock 5 narrow

A small narrow single canal lock designed to raise small boats from one water level to another. It operates as a transfer table, with operating gates, and rising water level, it lifts boats 3 metres. This model is 7 feet (2.1 metres) wide and the lock is 20 metres long. It includes operating gates and canal walls.

The lock operates using the turntable arrows, one click will make the lock fill, to the top level of the second. When the gates open, the canal boat may drive out. Clicking on the other red arrow will reverse the lock operation. Rotate your view around the lock until you can click on the red arrows. You should have a line of sight looking through the arrow so the center of the model is behind the arrow.

The rising water is a textured plane, replace this texture with your own if you want to match a particular water colour in Trainz. The lock snaps to the grid when placed, so the gates align with a grid line. Place water to finish at the gates and adjust the upstream and downstream levels to suit the up or down positions of the water level in the dock. You should use the get spline height tool to find the height of the attachment points and set the attached track to those levels.

Additional invisible track (green) has been added to the update, so you can place signals and to have two sections of track after the table so the AI can see a route beyond the table, and have a canal boat navigate onto the center of the lock.

The Move Turntable rule is useful to operate the lock.
