Facing Turnouts/Points

When you have turnouts that face each other, its awkward for the throttle user to have to manually switch both to match each other. By treating the crossover as a single turnout/point, control is simplified and incorrect combinations are prevented.

To do this, we need to hide one of the turnouts/points from the user, and make sure that throwing/closing the visible turnout/point automatically throws/closes the other turnout/point.

All turnout/point definitions in EXRAIL allow for a text description to be shown to the user throttle. The HIDDEN keyword, used instead of a turnout/point description prevents it being visible to the throttle or JMRI/iTrain etc.
