You will find in each downloadable ZIP file the foreground and background picture and a timetable line in a *.ttt file with a   $GROUP   command, having the correct parameters (size, position of the foreground stripe). You can include it into your own timetable file and extend this $GROUP line with your own parameters (LC= for the number of trains running through the screen after each other for one time on this picture, for example), or only use the values of the parameters   AB= ; BL= ; BG= ; FG= ;   in a simple movement or in another command, if you plan to use it in other way. Some pictures are showing a two track line, so you can even define a $SCENE and two $PATH inside it, to have trains running in both directions in the same time.
