Train 6M74 is going to Sims Metals in Beeston. I have stopped her at signal 339, but what now? There is a red circle nearby, but it doesn/t seem to do anything.

Assuming the points to the siding are clear and no route is set from 329, left click the red button and the train crew will do the rest. You'll notice the train start to head backwards into the siding shortly afterwards. Once it's clear of the main line, right click the button to lock the frame. That's all you need to do. If the back end of the train is fouling the points, set a route either onto the mainline or into the short siding at the end of the Up Goods so it can draw forwards.

Most simulations require you to operate the lever frame yourself, but Trent is very old and doesn't include this feature.

Thank you, my problem was that the "automatic" buttom at signal 329 was on. Turning this off and cancelling the route to 339 enabled me to press the red button to activate the Ground frame.
