6O47 stops at T345 Sig Pfm.1 Haywards Heath with the rear of its train still sitting on the points leading to the Dn Sdg North. I cleared T345 towards the spur for 6O47 to draw up and the loco detach and run fwd to the spur, which it did but in doing so had drawn the front of its train past T345, leaving the route stuck in towards the spur. I now have 0O47 trapped in the spur unable to run round its train. Regards, Phil. Log in to reply |

Reported on Mantis. A save game in this instance would be useful for some fault finding. "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply |

Hi Karl, I've had a quick look as I thought I'd reported this on the old Brighton, (as I know myself and a tester had spotted this for my 2012 tt) but I can't find anything on the forum (may have messaged Geoff personally a long time (years) ago). The issue of the train being too long for the run round move crept in when Brighton moved from scroll to loader. So guessing a track circuit length was reduced. As a stop gap, I reduced the length of the train. I'll probably have somewhere some saves from it cropping up on BTN..PM if you want them sending if they'll be of any use Gareth Last edited: 07/10/2019 at 15:57 by TimTamToe Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I've recreated and saved it. 6O47 has just come to a stand at T345.

Are we saying that T345 must be cleared before 6O47 comes to a stand for it to fit in clear both ends? Because if that is so then the notes need to say so. Log in to reply |

[FWIW I've also tried it just now and believe it works correctly with T345 set first, which then shows proceed once the train enters the platform. In real life the loco is past T345 while it detaches as well]. SimSig Boss Last edited: 07/10/2019 at 16:43 by GeoffM Reason: None given Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Phil-jmw |

I've had no problem getting 6O47 to stop on the right place. The problem I'm having is after 0O47 runs into the shunt spur the route from T345 does not cancel leaving the route locked meaning I can't route 0O47 out of the spur. Am I doing something wrong?

From further investigation, tt would appear that while the sim is about right for both timetable and sim / track length, it is just too tight to guarantee that the train does stop in exactly the right place each time. Certainly, during testing, that train did get a lot of attention and it had a number of runs where it stopped in the correct place. We'll make adjustments.

Aaargh - the headaches back lol - I'll amend the note along with the other reports made when I get back in the UK late Wednesday. Note - The return working 6V60 needs to be treated in the same way Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!! Log in to reply |

Investigating this (reloading the sim just before 6O47 passes copyhold junction a few times (not that the retrying actually made much difference)), I've finally noticed something on the third try; The version of 6O47 seeding in the 4am start has a Far end exact + 180m stop position, but the version entering at 3am from the 00:00 start has a NX+180 stop position. Given that 6V60 uses a FX stop I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this explains why the midnight start seems to be suffering worse for this issue.

I'm pretty sure that the issue only occurs in the 0000 start, and yes it has been addressed for the next update. If however you can't wait for the update all you have to do is change the stopping position of 6O47 to FX as opposed to the NX position . Apologies to you all for this one - while testing for the original release I was playing around with the stopping positions and this re-edit slipped through the net Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!!

I told the driver to propel back towards the shunt spur (reverse direction from Up to Down) so 6O47 was fully behind T344 after which the driver had stopped and I was able to then set the route onto the branch. Is this usual practice? I'm running a 2009 00:00 TT with the 2000 era, just thought I ask as I'm not moaning just curious to see what others think??? Log in to reply |

Hi all, after intense testing the problem is this and the return working are too long for the drawn sections, I believe this is in hand. As a safe and acceptable work-round, easiest way at the mo is the have train near end stop +24m, don't clear route to headshunt, have points locked, wait for train to stop, authorise train to pass signal, the rest of the sequence works fine. AS reported earlier testing brought up this error and the fine tuning of the sim is still ongoing, Thanks Log in to reply |
