58050 said:Thanks for the this Neil. Firstly looking at the MGR coal plan I can confirm that 6k91 0951 TWThO MGR Eggborough Power Station - Sudforth Lane is the last workings of that set & shows arriving at Sudforth Lane at 1002, it shows 'DETACH ETIES, LD' & the loco returns to Knottingley TMD. What I am tempyed to say & it's no disrespect to you as I know you are a railwayman, but I don't recall ever having this problem when Kev & I tested the timetable & to back that up some of the users on this thread have also confirmed they have run through the full 24 hours & have not mentioned the fact that they have run out of room at Sudforth Lane. So I'm wondering whether you ended up placing a set in Sudforth Lane that shouldn't be there?No offence taken :) I may be a real-life train driver, but that doesn't stop me being a rubbish pretend signaller! But as you asked, the two other empty sets sitting in Sudforth Sidings are: 6K94FSX1738, arrived 17:55 as booked (17:35 Selby Discharge to Sudforth. Joins 0K86 to form 6K86FSX2155 - 21:55 Sudforth to York Yard North) 6K83FSX1855, arrived 19:15 as booked (18:55 Selby Discharge to Sudforth. Joins 0K82 to form 6K822209 - 22:09 Sudforth to Selby New Mine) So both other sets of empties should be sitting there at 19:43 (my current sim time) - it's 6K91MFX0951 that's messed things up. If it should indeed arrive at around 10:00 and just sit there for the rest of the day then this is one of those "too much coal and not enough sidings" situations that we're going to have to manage at 19:45. As a short-term solution I'm going to create a new 56 to come light loco out of Knottingley to take it up to Milford just to get it out of the way. I've got three through sidings and four dead ends available. Then I won't have to sit 6K861941 at Knottingley South until 6K86FSX2155 departs at 21:55. 58050 said: If however you are 100% certain that everything went where it should I'm going to be running a Wednesday test session starting fromn 04.00am snapshot another user has post so I can work out where to put a missing train that someone pointed out.Once I've finished this TT I was thinking of running Wednesday again to see if I can spot anything myself.

I'm just wondering if anybody knows what the return working of 7H06 is from Drax as I can't see a 6H06 or anything similar. Sorry if it's already been asked. I'm running the Tuesday TT. Cheers cliff cook Log in to reply |

I'm running the Tuesday TT.I'm just about to start a Wednesday run through now. With regards to the irst missing train 6K83 which should enter from Drax Power Station at 03.37 now runs into the Milford Down Sdgs as that train as no further work & the loco comes out from there back to Knottingley TMD at 04.37. That means the trains going in & out of Milford WS don't need to be re-written. With regards to your 7H06 train going in you need to bear in mind MGR set don't always return from wence they came. That set could return to any number of places like Gascoigne Wood, Milford WS, York Yard North or even Doncaster Down Decoy. If you look in the F4 you 'll see a train 6Y63 14.17 MX MGR Gascoigne Wood - Immingham Coal Terminal. That could be the empty set going to Immingham to load & return as 7H06. MGR sets work totally different to other traffic flows which use tank wagons or Aggregate hoppers. MGR sets are not tied to one train as they can literally be sent anywhere(Colliery or Port) to load & return to the Power Station, so don't cos 7H06 from Immingham has gone in another empty set will come for Immingham. Doesn't always work that way. The empties off 7H06 would go back to Gascoigne Wood to load or Milford WS/Sudforth Lane to wait for there next orders. But thanks for asking.

This is the first train of the day to go to Milford Down Sidings and I misread the TT. I will say I'm enjoying this a great deal and I appreciate the effort and detail that's gone into producing this! Last edited: 05/05/2019 at 18:28 by dmaze Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Just found two small bugs in the TT. The first is 4M77 - 1400 SX COY Bathgate TC - Washwood Heath Up Sdgs (FDAA TI Cl.47/3+16 empty PLA 2 tier cartics). It enters the sim with headcode "2036", which I assume found its way into that box because the train's entry time was mistakenly put there instead. Secondly, when in the F4 -> Train Characteristics -> Train Category drop-down list, one of the entries reads "Cl.56+36 empty MGR wagns" (a small typo).

I've sent the updated TT version of to Noel so it can be sent out with the sim updates at some point in the not too distant future. I've also made a couple of routing alterations to 6K78 0918 SX MGR Milford WS - Allerton Bywater(aka Leadston) & 6K91 1445 SX MGR Milford WS - Allerton Bywater. Both of these trains run direct from Milfor Jn to Castleford & reverse at CD5211 signal & propel down the Leadstone branch with the brake van leading as there are no run round facilities at the colliery. So when the new TT is released user will need to remember this.

Just a quick note about 6N20 which enters at Wakefield Cobra at 10.03, with the loco running round at Calder Bridge Junction. Make sure you route the train out of Wakefield Cobra onto the UP line (so WK1193 -> WK1195 -> WK8211, and NOT WK1195 -> WK6775). If you route the train to WK6775 the driver will simply call in to say he's waiting there. The loco will not detach unless the train is at WK8211 signal. Technically, the loco can still run round if it's stopped on the Down line, but the sim doesn't recognise that the train has arrived at Calder Bridge Junction if it's on the Down line. Hope that helps anyone else who's confused as to which route to give the train out of Wakefield Cobra. EDIT - when you have the loco 0N20 in behind WK8210 you have to route it through the UGL to run it round the train. So the route is WK8210 -> WK1194 -> WK1232. There is no route from WK8210 to WK1190. Last edited: 22/11/2019 at 12:10 by lazzer Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Actually there are two places you can put 6N20 so the run-round can be done: on the up line (behind WK8211), or in the loop (behind WK8823). I was playing this timetable yesterday, and I sent 6N20 into the loop (so WK1193 > WK1195 > WK8823) which worked fine. Log in to reply |

Whats the correct way to run around at Sudford Lane? When I tried, the loco kept going all the way to Knottingley station.

If it's a straight forward run round I normally use the headshunts at either end of the reception lines but you should be able to reverse on the mainline too.

So I have a strategy question. When a train is coming from Gascoigne Wood and is scheduled for a crew change at Ferrybridge North, what do you do if it is running ahead of schedule? I've had a couple of instances where a train has been running ahead of schedule and had to wait at Ferrybridge for the crew to arrive while everything gets backed up behind it. Log in to reply |
