When Auto Mode is selected this signal doesn't step up from White aspect to a Green aspect - see attached grab. If you deselect the Auto option then it goes to Green. Scrolly Mode with no ARS.

Have also noticed this - I found that upon merely clicking on the signal it then steps up to a green straight away!

Yes the instruction to redraw occurs a "tick" before the conditions to show G are met so it does not redraw G, have found a solution. Thanks Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Just out of interest, without yet having had chance to download the sim - are the trap points really facing to movements into the sidings, or is that just a space-saving quirk of the real display?

On the national network, though (and I can't see why LUL should be any different in this respect), trap points are, almost without exception, facing to movements leaving sidings (or goods lines), thus protecting legitimate movements on the passenger lines that they're protecting. If the traps really are the opposite way round here, they don't seem to do anything that the first set of facing points beyond the end of the platform wouldn't! Log in to reply |

The plans are ambiguous as to whether the a SB train would be thrown off to the right or a NB to the right. What you have fits the space available. Having said that on re-examining the panel photos, it appears traps were not marked at all. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs!

Having said that on re-examining the panel photos, it appears traps were not marked at all.I've just had a look at the scale plans for Victoria and there are no trap points as such. What you actually have are wide to gauge points (Nos 9/10B & 11B/12), facing to trains coming out of the sidings. With wide to gauge points the two switch rails are independent of each other and can both be standing open at the same time. An example of independent switches can be seen here.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f257/TrogUK/W2GCvTrap-1.jpg Last edited: 10/11/2013 at 22:30 by Harsig Log in to reply The following user said thank you: BarryM |
