Now available in downloads, When updating for the new 'Loader' features I have revised so that instead of running trains that ran 'mostly a Thursday' it now has more accurate TUE, WED, THU, FRI trains. This mainly affects the oil trains, more often it was the same path with different off-sim destinations. This should chain to the newly released Motherwell 1993 v1.0 and the imminent CSCOT 1993 v3.2. Chaining has been analysed but not tested. Have fun and file your comments / bugs below Bill Log in to reply |

I know this may seem like a silly question, but how do I get OM12 out of PC2. I set the route from E428 but it just keeps saying it is Stopped at Signal - Edinburgh PC2.

You need to manually change the points before setting the route (same with the MR platforms)

I tried that but I couldn't get the points to switch to PC2, the only options seems to be automatic or manual to PC1. I'll try again. Edit: Never mind, I figured it out, just wasn't quite clicking in the correct spot. Last edited: 08/08/2020 at 20:57 by swiftaw Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Just out of curiosity, what class AC loco would you have hauling 1S37 (KX - Edinburgh Mail Train)? As far as I recall the only AC locos on the ECML were Class 91's but I thought there were pretty much all in formation with Mark IV carriages and a DVT.

Found a minor issue - the incident log shows 8K03 delivering paint on the Forth Bridge down line, but no corresponding train has entered the area and both 8K03's that enter in Dalmeny Up Yard are blanked in the F4 window

Thanks - I missed taking out the old 'runs as required 70%' when changing to decisions. The decisions now include a not running option. #31320 Bill Log in to reply |

Not sure why but 5G24 once arrives Kirkcaldy automatically changes headcode to 2G24, this is despite fact that it's booked to reverse in the siding or on the Down Fife just north of station before heading into the Up Fife platform. Shouldn't the headcode stay as 5G24 until it actually arrives in the Up Fife platform to form it's passenger service? 2G24 by the way is a service to Edinburgh via Aberdour. Log in to reply |

As it is mainly 'decorative' and does not affect running they are understandably lower priority to fix. You may find it again with the late nights turning at Thornton. Log in to reply |

Can't reproduce, ran through it three times with the same outcome of train running through the station as 5G24, reverse at 842 and back onto the Up line where headcode changes to 2G24. If you have a snap shot of roughly at that time, we can take another look from your save.

Also run OK for me, running with & without ARS on Loader 5.6. Thornton is also OK for me - but that is a split ECS with 5G23 to the ET558 reversal and 5K28 back, done to make the 'ACI/ARS look through' less likely. Log in to reply |

Sraight away, the headcode changes to 2G24 to head back to Edinburgh via Aberdour however one tiny issue means it's not a valid route and that's because there's a limit of shunt board at the Edinburgh end of the Down Fife platform. I've also routed the train behind EK842 and I get no issues at all so seeing as both signals are offered as a timing point to reverse services behind, why am I only getting issues with reversing services behind EK838? Surely both should work with no issues? I've attached the save at 05:40 as the closest save to the train in question.  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

The TT says "PLAT 842" to reverse.

Hap in post 130795 said:The TT says "PLAT 842" to reverse.True but the timing point at that location has both EK842 or EK838 as signals that you can reverse behind so regardless of it saying Plat 842 to reverse behind, why doesn't it work when you reverse behind EK838? That's what I don't understand as both are alternatives to each other in order to reverse behind so 5G24 should either go non ARS when you set the route to reverse behind the alternative signal or stay as ARS and just accept it as a alternative right?

Just a quick one but what line am I meant to route 8K11 onto please as it's currently waiting the signal at Dunbar having complete it's crew change but there's been no engineering notice that's appeared and all it says is that it runs ML to Prestonpans but nothing to say if it's working over the Down or the Up Berwick. I did get the engineering notice about 8K13 though which states Tamper 8K13 working on up line Prestonpans to Oxwellmains and Oxwellmains to Stenton Can I have some clarification on where to route 8K11 please?

ML will send it down line - which is the one that causes most impact on other trains You can send it up if you prefer, but will get an off-route. The 'engineering notices' are only generated by the initial timetable decision, although I could look at adding them for the following night.

The other thing I was going to query is 0M16 (23:50 Glasgow to Edinburgh LE) as it's booked to arrive at South Loop Siding (West) at 01:02 and depart at 01:37 however when it arrives, the driver doesn't change ends and constantly rings up saying he's waiting at signal E454 when he needs to change ends to reverse via Mound Tunnel on Line W to then shunt onto what is the front of 1M16 waiting in Platform 11. Yes I've taken ARS off for the shunts needed for the sleepers but surely that shouldn't impact on the actions of the drivers? It was in the right place according to the train list, a quick fix was to tell the driver to change ends via the F2 menu.
