Struggling with restoring points to normal at Biggleswade 28/08/2023 at 18:07 #153049

Hi, we are complete newbies, so apologies if this is a daft question. We are in the Peterborough Sim attempting to get 6L69 from Biggleswade sidings to Biggleswade then on in the direction of Hitchin. We have got it to Biggleswade but then cannot seem to restore the points lever to return the points to the normal position. We have read the wiki on lever frames but we are still stuck and have no idea why! Can anyone help? Thanks!

Make sure both red levers are set to the top then change the points (Black lever) back to the top and then put number 1 back to the top. After this right click on the R on the ground frame controls shown in the picture and it should be reset.

The N indicator should have a solid white light on both.

Thanks, we have been trying to do that but when we slide the black lever up it goes straight back down and starts flashing

Is the red lever(s) back to the top before changing the points? Could you provide me with a save game and I'll take a look?

The train believes that it's at Biggleswade as it comes to a stand over the point work, so rather than going into p4 to reverse, it's reversing over the points. Thus, it's changing direction and looking to head straight back into the sidings. Will throw up a mantis ticket when I get back to my computer.
