I'm really enjoying Moss Vale, it's great to have something so familiar and close to home. I've encountered an issue with 2233 arriving at Berrima Jn to reverse into the cement works. The train has come to a stand with the rear not clear of BJ84. It had plenty of room to pull past, the next down signal was off. I'm a bit short of workarounds because I'm running the sim on Linux via Crossover, and a number of things aren't working - including right clicking on the train list. I'm going to go back to a previous save and see if it does it again. I'll own any Linux induced weirdness, but maybe it's a sim bug? Medium term, I'm going to dual boot Windows and get all the options back! Log in to reply |

As I understand it, the core code recently changed and now marks trains as arrived before the full train has reached the relevant TC. One fix is to change the stopping position to FX (not sure if a plain Far End suffices). “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: 13/02/2021 at 12:35 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Can't say I've ever seen this happen If you can load an older save and get it to happen each time, would you mind uploading your save here? Log in to reply |

I just tested the scenario and had the same issue. Mantis report made. Mantis 33032 Post has attachments. Log in to view them. I intend to live forever. So far so good Log in to reply |

Mantis 33032It was already reported and fixed, though I can't find the ticket number at first glance. The sim still has some issues outstanding which is why it hasn't been re-released with this fix yet. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following user said thank you: drew |

Thanks everyone for your help. It sounds like the right people are onto it. Hopefully we'll get a fix at some point.

I have noticed that too with it and 2235. All I did to get around it when it appeared out of Picton, was set its "next location" in the Timetable edit to signal BJ84 and it worked fine. Cheers Dave Last edited: 21/02/2021 at 01:14 by dcp4486 Reason: None given Log in to reply |

It's a while since I ran Moss Vale (about to start a new playthrough if I can drag myself off ETS2 and TSW2), think I might have got round this by using manual shunt forward then stop commands to get the train where it needed to be.

Okay, little update. 2235 actually worked okay for me but 2233 just stopped at MV11 (cleared) with the back end still over Berrima Jn. I issued an order for the train to shunt forward but dopey driver had already changed direction and promptly started reversing back up the Down Line, towards SN35 rapidly bearing down. Rapid reverse direction order issued, which had to be countermanded as soon as the train was back over Berrima Jn and I set the route onto the branch. Not very conventional and probably broke about every signalling rule in the book... So 2233 certainly needs looking at, I've attached a save game which should replicate. Screenshot of the resulting kerfuffle also attached, for everyone's amusement! Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

In cases like these, a "set back"/"shunt backwards" command would be nice.

Just to add to my previous findings, I had another (?) 2235 arrive around 2100 time from the Picton direction for the Berrima branch. Now this one did stop short and stand out foul. Currently trying to coax it into the right place with a combination of reversal and shunting instructions, not having much success at present. At times like this it would be useful to have some indication which direction the train is pointing before issuing the instruction or further instructions as I am only assuming the driver has changed ends despite not being able to access the next route. It's also completely and utterly contrary to any established safe working practice to try and jiggle the train in this way. The schedules probably need amending to bring the train all the way into Moss Vale or round the North Fork and reverse there. Vern Log in to reply |

Not sure, I'll try that next time as, after a bit of a wait the train did eventually move. One improvement I could suggest so far as the core programme is concerned, is to make it clear when the train is actually moving rather than waiting to reverse. At the moment there seems to be a delay of several minutes before anything happens so maybe there should be two clear stages/messages: 1. Preparing to reverse. 2. Reversing (with the actual speed). Edit: No F2 doesn't indicate the direction of movement. Vern Last edited: 16/05/2021 at 20:21 by NorthernWarrior Reason: None given Log in to reply |

NorthernWarrior in post 139540 said: Um, F2 has a "Dir" column that shows "Up" or "Dn" - that's the direction. The message "Reversing" means you're in the driver walking stage.

Thanks Clive. Of course in most cases on Moss Vale the reversal will be a messy propelling move, as I believe only the Tahmoor Colliery trains are top and tailed.

still a problem in June 2022 Although Mantis 33032 says it resolved. I just removed the train, hope it gets fixed soon.

A quick fix for now is to edit the TT and make all Berrima Jn 82/84/86 signal stops near end. Most trains will have to be signalled as far as MV15 or the curve, but they will stop in the correct position and perform the correct reversing move into Boral Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!!

thanks again, I went back to before I deleted the train and edited its timetable as you suggested, and it worked fine.

Airvan - I'd do it for all the Picton entries to Boral as well. The Boral to Pictons should reverse behind 82 with near end stops as well Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!! Log in to reply |
