mackeral1234: Kings Cross - 2012 starts 2030GMT connection now
arabianights: wozza plan tonite den
simon.vale : Thank you Pan :)
panpantom: well done Simon (SV17) first time on KX mp
signaller1: full with a q!
panpantom: KC: Palace seeks a signaller
simon.vale : I'm SV17
simon.vale : Yeh - but I'm a newbie - I'll need something easy to do
panpantom: Simon are you up for KX?
simon.vale : I'm joining
panpantom: any more joining KX?
arabianights: *hurray
arabianights: huray
panpantom: KX hosting details on forum
panpantom: I'll host a KX
simon.vale : I'm going to guess he isn't going to turn up
simon.vale : maybe not..
simon.vale : Haha - its not 10pm yet - patience ;)
arabianights: that said it this does kinda require the 10pm host guy to turn up...
arabianights: :)
simon.vale : And there weren't any spare platforms in Liverpool Street either
simon.vale : I made a huge mistake with the Liverpool Street Sim - I had the Bishopsgate Tunnel closed, and there was just a huge queue of 5 trains trying to get to Bethnal Green
simon.vale : Yeh that would be good - I'm not sure I trust myself with anything more
arabianights: cause it's not really possible to make a HUGE mistake with that
arabianights: or if you're completely new it might be worth asking to do the hertford loop
simon.vale : ok
arabianights: what normally happens is everyone is assigned a panel on a first come first served basis
arabianights: you will have to speak to the host about it but they will probably not want to link with a complete newbie cause there are lots of extra issues if you are a host (which you would have to be if you wanted to link)
simon.vale : as you can link sims together can't you?
simon.vale : I also have the Royston one - so I could just be left to that one as its simple enough ;)
simon.vale : Just installed it
simon.vale : Ok :)
arabianights: download simsig kings cross (and simsig main files) then wait for thread in the forum with details for the multiplayer
simon.vale : I'm a relative newb but I don't mind trying out a signalling session. What do I need to do?

Hi everyone, I'm Richard and I'm 16 years old. I've been using these great sims for a while now, however its taken a while for me to get an account and start posting in this forum. As for my newbie question, what is "slotting" and how does it work. eg. on the Edinburgh sim, trains from Haymarket station to the depot need a "slot". What is this please, and how do I get this train into the depot? ::

All the best
Richard :D

The signaller asks the shunter for permission to send a train ninto the depot, this is done by pressing the green button to the left of the depot, marked SLOT. It will start to flash and once the shunter has given permission it wil turn a steady green. There is a similar arrangement for trains going into the depot at the other end.

I've noticed the Wiki page is a little lacking on the subject so I've added some more information to it here:
www.simsig.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=usertrack:glossary:slot

Oh, and welcome!
