Hi Sam, as I put in my post yesterday evening, I think I solved this for the interim by only interposing at the 'buffer' end, then on departure the train seems to behave ok, I then interpose any subsequent TD at the buffer end again. As a relative newbie I enjoy trying to solve probs as they pop up, but probably not always in the approved fashion, lol!

Mal.

How long will the next train to Redditch be? Three coaches sir.

This is to do with there not being a signal the buffer-stops side of the siding points on the platform line. A work around in SimSig was made, but needs more work. I have fixed it in my data, but there is more I want to do with it.

get rid of all the describer berths?

crack out pen and paper and fit train describers to and from edge hill. just a (ludicrous) thought

delticfan OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 304 Thank you received: 35	Hi all, I've so far managed to work round the signal problems with Plat 1, 5 and 7. I keep an eye for departure time and then set the road, and trains then move ok. Edit - Had a better idea, use a sticky - foolproof, lol!
