Derby 2009 TT

The issue of the trains not hanging about on the station stops is because I appear to have overlooked putting the dwell times into the train categories.
The issue of multiple trains running I'll look into when I'm not chasing my behind sometime next week and then send out an update.
Sorry guys & gals

Trains can only RR or RM on the Down Goods at Derby not on the UG

Thanks, wasn't sure when I wrote that whether there was a route out to a LOS on the Up Goods. Evidently not! Is there any restriction on HSTs or double 222s (or anything else where the driver can't walk through the train) reversing on the Down Goods?

Broadholme Up Loop = 1300m
Broadholme Down Loop = 1500m

I will get and update / amend the manual at some point very soon.

Done. :)

Not sure if this has already been mentioned somewhere ­— but I have 6D08, I've just sent it down the Sinfin branch, and it's now saying "stopped at signal 374X" upon reaching the end of the branch. However, it's still fouling the track circuit and preventing the ground frame being released.

(Also, I scrolled down and T599C appears to have three occupancies, which strikes me as rather odd).

Back in the early 90's HST's definitely did change ends on the Down Goods at Derby North (no Meridians on those days to walk through) but I don't know if that is still the case today. They first went via Derby north/Chad Curve onto 4 Shed for fuel then back out to Derby North/Chad Curve again to reverse to go onto Etches Park, if only Chad Curve had been available for all that shunting it would have taken all night and caused much congestion because back then there were at least 5 loco hauled sets and numerous DMU's to deal with as well as the 8 or so HST's each night, not to mention all the loco moves on and off 4 shed. It really was a busy place on nights in the early 90's especially with all the mails attaching, detaching and changing locos and numerous freights passing through, many of which got relief at Derby. The Centre Panel man was kept busy pretty well all night long.

Interesting. my 1993 WTT shows all ECS from Derby as running direct from the station to Etches Park with a Journey times Circa 5 mins. I'd be interested in some more info on this for the TT I'm writing via PM?

I'm having problems getting 0X77 to join with 5X77?

I just had that same issue. In my scenario, OX77 was overhanging and so I wonder whether technically it hadn't arrived at the joining location. In F2, both were showing the other was in front, but at different locations. To resolve this I tried shunting 5X77 but this isn't possible without power, so I ended up having to take extreme measures! Halving the length of 5X77 seemed to create enough room for the join to happen, but would be good to know if there's a better solution!
