Watford North - Signal 50 06/07/2017 at 18:01 #96164

Hi, I'm having difficulty with the St Alban's Abbey branch.

First train of the day gets to Watford North, but signal 50 is at red and can't be switched. I've tried the ground frame, but you can't switch 50 through that unless you're going into the sidings.

What am I missing?

Sorry, previous post was nonsense, WJ50 works automatically, take back the release of the ground frame and the branch works itself.

Thanks TUT for replying - is it normal to have the train call to say they are waiting at the red signal?

It is if the ground frame is released and the main signal is therefore unable to clear by itself. If you received a phone call before the ground frame was released then either I don't know what I'm talking about or something is indeed wrong.

I only tried the groundframe after I got the call - however the signal has now turned green, just 3 minutes late.

It shouldnt need to call in. IRL the crossing is lowered and the signal clears after the guard plunges TRTS.

The signal will not show proceed if the ground frame is released IRL. The driver would have to contact the signalbox if s/he could not get a proceed aspect.
