Are there any simulations which use those ground frames? Does the train have to be in the station to operate the ground frames? I can't seem to pull them to the Full/Reverse position...

I assume you mean timetables? The Project X one does, I don't think any others do.

They can only be released if a train is in the station platform, or if a train is in the loop, is ready to depart and has released a token.

I don't know about if there are any time tables that use the frames, but IRL the train crew would unlock the king lever using the token and operate the levers from there. As there is only one token, and the king would be key detaining. only one frame can be used at one time. for the purpose of the sim GF2 can only be released if train is in track sections in rear of stop boards BFSTOP4, BFSTOP5 or BFSTOP6. And GF3 can only be released if train is in track sections in rear of stop boards BFSTOP1, BFSTOP2 or BFSTOP3

See images...






Make sure the points are set correctly as the driver won't call to complain.
Here is an example WTT to try it out for yourself...

The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails
