Hi all can anyone tell me how to block AI traffic coming in from other boxes? I know there are codes such as BLOK (that's all I know actually) can anyone tell me the codes, their relevance and whether they work on Peterborough? Typed on a iPhone so sorry for poor punctuation

This WIKI page (usertrack:ssterms:lineblock) has details of the codes to be inserted into the berths at the sim entrance points. I'm not sure (yet!) whether these are enabled in the Peterborough sim. I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. Log in to reply |

Other sims have a detailed manual which describes, but Peterborough hasn't. You may try yourself if interposing BLOK at the first non-grey signal on VW1 works, to let trains enter on the other line.

I became aware of Line Blocking after reading Jan's post here. I think its Wiki page could be expanded a bit more - none of the terms are actually defined. I can guess that BLOK means to block off a particular line in a sim (prevent trains proceeding further?), and SHUT probably means "prevent trains from entering at that point", but what does POSS stand for and mean? Also what is *T used for, what does it stand for and what do its number suffixes signify? Are these berth terms really specific to SimSig (the page is in the ssterms section of the Wiki) or are they also used by professional signallers? Can any of these terms be used in all sims or only if explicitly stated in the manual? As a programmer might put it, what is the scope of each term? Thanks for throwing further light on this.

POSS = POSSession. Generally oompa loompas ( B) ) taking a possession of the line for works, etc. I'd hazard a guess that the T's relate to the rule book modules. Searching on Google along the lines of 'T# possession' (where # is the number, i.e: 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, etc. (some potentially randomly select numbers there)) seems to confirm that. I don't think either are SimSig specific, since SimSig is simulating the real thing very very well. No doubt it's under the ssterms section of the Wiki to cover SimSig's backside - basically a way of reminding people they're terms for SimSig and may not always be real life terms.

Ah, those Oompa Loompas again! They seem to be everywhere.

According to Clive's Euston manual: BLOK is a temporary blockage (trains will be held off-sim and will enter when the BLOK code is removed). SHUT, POSS and *T1*, *T2* and *T3* are longer closures and trains will be turned around off-sim and will never enter the area. The Tx numbers and their meanings can be found here.
