Where can I find the length of the various Track Circuits in a simulation?
I've got three trains that join in Stirling platform #4 but their combined length is 44m longer that the platform. However, there is an additional Track Circuit between the end of the platform and the signal so presumably that would be occupied as well.

Thanks in advance

Ask Peter Bennet, be wrote the source data so would able to tell you both the lengths of the tracks and where the signals are sited on them.

The sim has 205m available in Stirling P4 without fouling the points, though google maps suggests it should be around 30m less than that.

It'll foul the points then but that shouldn't matter as long as the trains fit between the buffers and signal SN31.

Peter will hopefully see these posts and advise accordingly.

Thanks

TC lengths at Stirling - the second number is 2015 era, all signals are at the end of the relevant TC.
2=410
3=455
4=205
5=205
6=275/280
7=85/135
8=85/135
9=320/325
10=235/255

Thanks Peter.
Hopefully there shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to play the sim through and see what happens.
