I did a quick search of the Forum and could find nothing relating to this issue. I’ve just accepted 9T27 from the Down Decoy Yard and it’s supposed to travel to the Back Road. On this occasion it got as far as the track circuit between signals D1421 and D239, then shot back into the Decoy Yard and the route is still set. I don't recall this happening in a previous game. Is this incorrect behaviour, or to be expected? I re-ran the sim from the attached save and the same thing happened. .....  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

This is intentional behavior. I've set it up to reflect a "long shunt", that is to say a movement from one siding to another which needs to drop out just beyond one of the hand points in Down Yard, but doesn't come all the way out. not all the 9T27s are long shunts such as the MGR wagon swaps but most are. I think I put a note about this in the panel notes section of the timetable although I could be mistaken. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

Would that be ok, or should I still clear it? On the last occasion, I had to wait 120 seconds before it cleared. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.
