When Auto Mode is selected this signal doesn't step up from White aspect to a Green aspect - see attached grab.

If you deselect the Auto option then it goes to Green.

Scrolly Mode with no ARS.

Have also noticed this - I found that upon merely clicking on the signal it then steps up to a green straight away!

Yes the instruction to redraw occurs a "tick" before the conditions to show G are met so it does not redraw G, have found a solution.

Thanks

Just out of interest, without yet having had chance to download the sim - are the trap points really facing to movements into the sidings, or is that just a space-saving quirk of the real display?

I would say that they are there to protect any opposing movements.

On the national network, though (and I can't see why LUL should be any different in this respect), trap points are, almost without exception, facing to movements leaving sidings (or goods lines), thus protecting legitimate movements on the passenger lines that they're protecting. If the traps really are the opposite way round here, they don't seem to do anything that the first set of facing points beyond the end of the platform wouldn't!

The plans are ambiguous as to whether the a SB train would be thrown off to the right or a NB to the right. What you have fits the space available. Having said that on re-examining the panel photos, it appears traps were not marked at all.

Actually very close study of the drawing I think what the case is that points 10B and 11B actually have three positions, Normal/Rev and middled so it traps by allowing a NB train to fall astride the point blades.

I've just had a look at the scale plans for Victoria and there are no trap points as such. What you actually have are wide to gauge points (Nos 9/10B & 11B/12), facing to trains coming out of the sidings. With wide to gauge points the two switch rails are independent of each other and can both be standing open at the same time. An example of independent switches can be seen here.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f257/TrogUK/W2GCvTrap-1.jpg
