Online 		whilst playing the edinburgh 1993 timetable, i have train 6E11 at grantshouse loop, which has detached a (presumably) pilot loco which runs into the engineers sidings.
however, depsite the fact no signals or overlaps conflict, the ground frame will not release and throws up the corresponding message in the message box

can anyone enlighten me on the reason, if any that the groundframe will not release?

Edit I ran a train into the loop and am unable to get a release for the GF.

2158 posts 		To release GF, the points in the loop need to be normalised! Did you see what happened to the assistant engine? Mine disappeared off F2!.

Online 		got it now... i was attempting to normalise the points points between the loop and engineers sidings, not the points on the mainline. it now works fine for me cheers. a minor bit of confusion on my part regards which points we were talking about.

You've lost me- when a train enters the siding it'll fall off the Sim after 180m and then return later and an "entry". The only thing that I am aware of that was a problem in testing was where you forget to restore the EG438 (PL) the remaining of the train may follow! Though that may have been before we had "unpowered" states - can't remember the full details.

When the assistant engine finishes dividing, F2 does not show the engine. It disappears without setting the GF.

1318 posts 		Just run through this bit on its' own a couple of times, and it all seems to work as expected.
0E11 goes into the engineers sidings and exits.
6E11-1 heads off at least 4 minutes later (the rule stops it following 0E11 giving you 4 minutes to put EG438 back), and normalise the GF for the train to depart.
Then at 0710 0E11-1 enters, operate the GF again and it heads back to Edinburgh.

If ignored long enough 0E11 phones up.
All I can think is that as 0E11 only shows on F2 for a minute or so from dividing to exiting you missed it.
