I had a lot of trouble getting a train to reverse at Stonehaven (up line) in Mechanical signalling, and eventually realised this was due to two small problems :

1. Both crossovers are controllable from one end only, and for the north crossover it's the trailing end, so I hadn't tried clicking there and thought control was automatic, as with some yards.

2. Attempting to give a hand signal with the green roundel gives a No train present message instead of a Route not available, so there is no hint to set the route.

Almost all the other non-track-circuited points in the sim. are controllable from both ends (including the sidings at Stonehaven), so 1 seems a data imperfection, whereas 2 is more like 'unhelpful' coding.

Hoping this might help someone...

Can you confirm sim version number and the options you used at launch.

It works as expected though I can see there's an inconsistency in not having both ends of the cross-over visible but they are linked, so when one moves so does the other.
