I'm a bit new to this AB stuff and I'm wondering if someone can give me some pointers on how the groundframe for engine release is operated!?

Thanks in advance...

OK, let's say you have a train in platform 3 and the engine needs to run round the train.

Once the engine has detached, LEFT-click the F button on the groundframe to unlock it. Now go to Show -> Lever Frames -> Holyhead Platform 3 GF and the ground frame lever box should open.

Pull down level 1 (the brown one) to activate the ground frame, and then lever 4. You should see signal HD100 come off, and the engine should run into the neck. Once it's done this, reset lever 4, and pull lever 2 (which switches the crossover). Pull lever 3, and PF3GF will come off, allowing the engine on to the RR line.

Once the engine is clear of the crossover, reset levers 3, 2 and 1 in that order, and RIGHT-click the F button to lock the ground frame. Job done!

Note, if you hover the mouse over the levers on the pop-up window it will show you what each one controls.

It's the same procedure for platform 1.
