You should first click the signal next to 5F41 and then the triangle at the end of the platform track (next to the '2').

So the principle of routesetting SimSig uses is that you route a train from signal to signal. So you need to click on the signal you want to route from and then next you click on the signal you want to route to. So the first thing is you must set the route from the signal 5H41 is standing at, the one it's right next to. I'm not too sure why you've set the route from that signal on the up fast that is white - probably the result of your experiments, but there's no train at or approaching that signal, so you don't want to clear that signal here. No as Albert says you have to set the route from the signal that applies to the line your train is travelling on. Then, as Albert says, click on the exit arrow in platform 2, the little triangle next to the number 2. The little shunt signals, the quarter circle signals in between are preset or running shunt signals. Do not try to clear them yourself. Do not route to or from them. Act like they aren't there and route from the main signal to platform 2. They will then clear by themselves before the main aspect clears. They are used for shunt movements between platforms and were more important in the days of locomotive-hauled trains. When routing arriving trains into the platforms you should essentially jump over them. They will clear themselves. Log in to reply |

That includes a group of pages about signalling and routesetting which may answer a lot of the questions you are likely to face as you continue with the sim. “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: 26/01/2020 at 20:00 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply The following user said thank you: TUT |
