Hi, Whilst trying to work round a TCF I decided to work a train reverse from St. Andrew's to Birmingham reverse via UWL. It happily went through Grand and Curzon but when it got to keyed points P555 - between signals 149 and 142, it stopped "at buffer stops" and just sat there, not a peep from the driver. It didn't reach shunting signal 155 as I hoped. If I reverse it and try again, same thing happens again at that junction. I've attached a save. I know it's an outlier case so not a world-beating bug!

Seemed to have found the equivalent issue on the UP DEL - 2N54 blocked by TCF/locked points at Proof House Jn so reversing back to New Street. Magic buffers between T206 and T205.... Save attached.

Off topic: it appears that reversing between Proof House and Landor Street is still possible there & is a signalled move, so that would be more realistic in the 2N54 case. In any case I don't see a difference between the three eras in the overlap track circuit there. At least, when comparing the signal number plans - the layout on the UW is slightly different than on the PDF plan so perhaps there's been a sim update introducing an era difference there? (Proof House Jn is different, of course; and that caused issued in the linked thread at signal 82.) AJP in games Last edited: 27/05/2020 at 15:31 by Albert Reason: None given Log in to reply |

There is a join between eras there. It's logged on Mantis for me to look at, though I've not had success fixing it yet.

I dunno whether in reality there is enough knitting to reverse behind NS138? Would enough wiring be provided in case of a mis-route? In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream... Log in to reply |

However, whether or not a train would be authorised to use them in this situation is another matter entirely.

Magic buffers between T206 and T205....Same issue - connection between two eras, of which there is one on each line around Proof House and a couple of other places. Once I work out a fix, it'll apply to all of them. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
