Decided to have a go at the Derby sim despite its faults that were mentioned in the Derby forum section, so had a go on the 15th October 2009 WTT. I noticed that the points, signals and tracks are covered in yellow, red and blue patches on it as seen here. The points, signals and tracks as seen in the picture are also shown in other wtts such as 2017 Blockade, May 2022 Covid, Winter 92, etc, etc. So, is the yellow, red and blue patches permanently on all these sims? How do I free up or remove the yellow, red and blue patches..? Sorry for calling the coloured sections patches as didn't have a name in mind what to type in Thanks Alex  Post has attachments.

That sim has had a complete overhaul & is currently under test. I've written a Derby summer 1987 timetable for the new version & pretty much all the issues that were on the version you are running have been fixed. So it's a case of waiting for the new sm version to be publically released along with some new timetables to run on it. I'm sure you'll find the new & improved version of the sim well worth the wait.

There are no guarantees that any TTs in the user download section will fully work, it is down to the relevant TT authors to update the TT. The default 2009 TT has been completely rebuilt from scratch and refreshed at the same time. A 2015 is in development, which will follow after testing Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!!

Returning to the main question, the yellow blocks are reminders. To remove, click the 'reminder' button next to the clock and right click the point end. The blue marks indicate that the point has been keyed and can be removed by left or right clicking after the reminder has been removed. On the released version of Derby, the reminders are applied by default in the later eras as the power station had closed. If I remember rightly they're not applied in the earliest era.

The simulation has not been rebuilt. It has been receivng updates to fix issues which were previously reported and issues which have been identified during the retesting. This does include some redrawing of the sim, but not all of it. The simulation covers the same eras that the existing derby simulates, although 2 of the eras have been combined into 1. If the post Derby remoldeling was to be simulated, this is likely to become its own simulation due to the large amount of track changes that have taken place Last edited: 13/02/2023 at 17:12 by y10g9 Reason: None given Log in to reply The following users said thank you: axmh, Meld, ajax103 |

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the revised and fixed version. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: axmh |

The station closed in 2003 and has been demolished so the track is O.O.U https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakelow_Power_Station# Bring back IC125's! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: axmh |

EMCC controls the former Leicester PSB area, former trent PSB area plus Chesterfield and the former Derby PSB area (among others) which would likely all be seperate and chainable.
