Routed 1G12 a 3 car 170 into P5 at Derby from sig 442, a legitimate move as I've been on a 170 to arrive in P5 before. However when it arrived at Derby it displayed At Buffer Stop in F2, this was fixed by Making the train manually reverse.

What timetable and layout were you using? Do you have a save from just before the train arrived into P5? Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

Go to F2 right-click on the train and under Timetable Options select Edit Timetable. When the TT window is open one of the locations will be in bold-face type as compared with the other locations. If Derby is not set in bold-face the sim doesn't think the train has got to Derby so it is still trying to progress forward but there is a set of buffer stops in front of it. To reset the location to Derby, click on the Derby line of the TT to highlight it, then click on the Current/Next Location button. You may need to shunt the train forward after that, but you should then see the F2 description move on from At Buffer Stop to whatever action the TT has set for Derby. If the train thinks it is already at Derby, there may be an issue with the stopping position set in the TT. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 11/09/2018 at 22:49 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

1G12 is in the 15 Oct 2009 tt. It is tabled from Sheet Stores Jn to Derby P3A where it reverses. There is no timetable for a move from sig 442(P2A)? to P5. Trainfan344, did you manually shunt the train from P2/P3 to P5? If so, what you saw in F2 was correct!

The 2009 TT shows 69m for 1G12 and the relevant track circuit (T715) via F11 is shown as being 70m in length. The sim manual lists the length of Derby P5 as 66m. ISTR that in reality there were also rules governing the routing of trains into P5? In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream... Log in to reply |

Hi, The Sim is correct. Class 170's can be 2 or 3 car units. However only 2 car units can use platform 5 at Derby. 3 car units had to use platforms 3 or 4. Use the description in F2 to find out the unit length. Mike. Log in to reply |

In other sims the train would stop foul of the points, arrive 'without problems' and ask for authority once it's ready to depart again. Whether the 'at buffer stops' message in this case is a bug or a feature, I don't know.

I don't think a 3 car 170 would fit either. What do the rules of the plan/route show for platform 5?

3-car 170's in practice were not normally signalled into Pfm.5 because even though they just fitted in and cleared the track circuit on the junction, the rear cab was in advance of DY445 Signal which meant the driver couldn't see the signal after changing ends. This became apparent shortly after Midland Mainline started strengthening their 2-car 170's to 3-cars when one morning the centre panel signalman, after pulling off from DY422 into Pfm.5 for an arriving Turbostar called over to me on the back desk and asked "Do 3-car Turbo's fit in the bay?" When I replied that I wasn't sure he said "Well we're about to find out" and pointed out of the window. It crept in and got inside clear of the junction track circuit but the rear cab was just proud of DY445 Signal so when it was ready to depart the driver had to stand on the platform to see the signal clear. Shortly after that MML Control were instructed to advise Derby PSB which services were formed of 3-cars to avoid this scenario happening again and 3-cars from then on were not normally allowed in the bay.

I was playing with Disruption and P6 and good lines under possesion so I signalled this into P5 thinking it would fit!

There is a set of instructions in - if I recall correctly - the General Appendix concerning trains not completely within fixed signals that would cover the situation of an overlength train in a platform. St Pancras had this regularly,and the 1957 OCS panel had signalling provision for it - you could set a route from the platform starter even though the loco was way out on the track circuit beyond the signal. The route would set & lock in but the signal itself would remain at danger; there was, however, an indication on the rear of the signal to show the driver that the route was set and the Appendix instructions then allowed for the train to be dispatched with no further fuss.

Well, "were" rather than "are" because they're no longer listed as a valid signal indication. Log in to reply |
