I'm having difficulties making loco run arounds work from the Petersborough Goods Line. When the Loco either exits the Goods line on the south end or is travelling up through platform 5, the next route takes the train to the Up March line where there is no reversing signal.

I can't seem to find the timetable combination to have the train remain on the down March line to signal 162 at Petersborough East to allow it to return under the authority of signal 797.

Any suggestions?

Probably can be done by running loco into East Sidings, then a new LE working back to RR and rejoin train.

{0Ann-0 out off sim, 0Ann-1 enters with a rule 'enters 5 mins after 0Ann-0 leaves sim'}

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

I'm not sure if I understand what you want, but you can run around a freight train on the goods loop by using this route for the engine:
Pbro goods line - - mar
Pbro S DM - - -
PBRO MAR 5 SL
PBRO N DS - - -
PBRO goods line - - -

The train will then reverse behind signal 797 on the up march line.

Broodje - that is exactly what I was after. Thanks!

I was using Petersborough East rather than Petersborough S DM, which is why it was going wrong.
