This really is an excellent Sim now you have sorted it out Peter. I have a couple of queries:
1) How do you deal with 0Txx (dropped off loco) at Didcot. F2 says it is waiting for authorisation, but there is no call from the loco and there is no Signalling option to do this.
2) If you allow a freight up to signal 2205 the overlap fouling Didcot N junction never drops out regardless of how long the train stands. Is that correct?

Anyway great Sim Peter.

Can you tell me what the point that needs addressed is please. For various reasons dealing with a save is not as easy as having a written explanation which may be easily dealt with; the .ssg being the fall-back. Peter

Pass- someone else may know.

No: just tested and it seems Ok and there is noting obvious in the data that would hold it up.

That will give the symptoms you describe.

Haven't run v2.227 yet, but in previous beta builds, loco does ring eventually allowing you grant authorisation - depending how long the parent train stands if you are waiting to get the road, the pilot sometimes rings before the parent train has moved. If you grant authorisation then the pilot will move back to the TC as soon as you set the road for it.

At which signal is it going this call from? As I'm wondering why it's doing it at all in the first place. I've probably looked into this before but I can't remember. If you can give me a for instance train maybe I can run it.

Once it is detached the train moves fwd. into the platform, leaving the TC in rear occupied by the loco, but the description is not on the TC and is non-ARS (pink). Cheers Ray

Peter Bennet OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2525 Thank you received: 334	I see, I was looking at the run-rounds. Just tested with the 07 something entry and it seemed to work OK in that I got the call albeit with the main train was still sitting there. The reason for the call is because the train is sat away from the signal with points in between. Peter
