Just had a look at one of mine and I've explicitly disabled external calls in it. The one I was thinking of was here you ask a driver to examine the line and phone in- if the next signal is someone else's then the train should stop for a moment and then restart with no call to you. Don't think it calls the other box either in M/Play though. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

On Swindid, there is quite a large section of track shown outside the area of control, which has many grey signals. Can these have failures?

Peter is the expert on SwinDid, but from memory, I do not believe I have ever seen one fail.

" said:On Swindid, there is quite a large section of track shown outside the area of control, which has many grey signals. Can these have failures?Failures are a different thing. Regarding calls, I've just had a look and it's a bit hit and miss it appears. For example trains entering at Chipping Sodbury have calls enabled at Sig 133 but they were never disabled. Just run it and blocked the line resulting in a call from Sig UB98, thus proving that calls are not automatically disabled on external signals. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs!

" said:I did knock the lamp proving out in an attempt to locate the signal as well as the conventional right-click method which is what led me to conclude that it was not visible on the panel.In this particular case, the signal is defined (wrongly) as not being external. As far as I can tell, there shouldn't be any calls from signals that are defined as external. So it's a sim data issue here! SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
