Glad to say that the Crewe simplified tt allowed me to get to grips with the layout. However there are two outstanding problems. Firstly, joining at Crewe Station is rarely successful. The train always ends up blocking the junctions at rear, then you have to somehow shunt the train forward and wait for this to happen. Meanwhile, other trains are delayed. Can this not be sorted out ? Secondly, those through boxes with the labels RQST ACCP just never work with me. All I seem to get is RQST blinking on its own but never a solid acceptance. The train moves into the junction then disappears without a trace. The train drops from the list as well. Can anyone tell me how to get these mysterious through boxes to work ? Log in to reply |

Hi Ray, I'm not sure what you mean by the "simplified tt" so it's hard to answer your first point. If you have a look at our guide here on how to provide the technical information and a save game so we can look into it a further, we'd also need to know which trains aren't joining. For the through acceptances there use is covered in the manual, from what you've said I don't think you are pressing the ACCP roundel at the far end to engage the acceptance.

Thank you for your reply. By simplified tt, I am alluding to the tt that was issued recently that did not have an awkward joining of locomotives at the start. Anyway I am surprised about your answer to the joining problem at Crewe. I was under the impression that many people were having this problem. I can tell you that all the joins at crewe station have the same problem. The locomotive splits and joins ok but once the join has been achieved there is always insufficient space at the rear or front of the train to fit everything into the platform length. Anyway you have cleared up the through boxes problem. I think you must treat them together like signal box A and signal box B. I was trying to operate the RQST ACCP buttons on only one box.

As it is, we've no idea if it's a sim problem, a timetable problem (especially relevant if this is a user-contributed TT), or a user error. Running the TT supplied with the sim I haven't had a problem with any joins at Crewe.

Its difficult to find out which timetable I used initially as after the first run I save it to a name with a start date. Once that happens there is no record on the sim about its original name. Anyway I will restart a new sim and see if the join problem happens again.

The timetable I was using which caused so many problems with joining at Crewe Station was the one labelled 21 July 2023.

With the lack of being able to provide a .ssg (save game) of your issue, we can't help any other way with the information that you've provided.
