South Humberside 1997 - 1998 timetable

2. 9G14 does work OK or it has everytime I've played this timetable. The move is as follows :- IR.47 or IR.70 to IR.207 signal then signal to 'LOS' which is directly above IR.122 on the panel on the Up line. The pilot loco will detach & become IMSSP(Immingham Sorting Sidings Pilot). If 0G14 appears early then you should hold it at IR.11 signal until 9G14 has cleared the next signal section, then signal 0G14 behind 9G14. Set the route from IR.207 signal to the 'LOS' on the up as you did for 9G14, but you will have to tell the driver of 0G14 to 'pass the signal at danger'. The loco will go onto the rear of 9G14 & attach, then becoming 6G14. Once 6G14 has gone forward to Immingham Bulk Terminal you can then send IMSSP back to Immingham West S.S. This same process should be repeated for 9G13 (0G13) & 9G15 (0G15). I know the train fits & isn't too long as this move was one of the first I managed to sort out. If you've signaled 9G14 from IR.47 or IR.70 to IR.207 & then to IR.100 then yes the train will be too long thats why you need to sugnal it to the 'Limit of Shunt(LOS)' on the Up Line.

I've just reached this little problem in my own playing of this TT.

When you say that 9G14 should be routed up to the LOS, you should mention that the sim won't let you set a route between IR100 and the LOS (at least it won't let ME set the route - "no route between selected signals"). The only way I can do it is to manually set the points for a move towards the LOS and authorise 9G14 to pass IR100 at danger. This leads to a track circuit bleed when the train finally stops and divides.

All of the above results in me having to authorise 0G14 to pass IR207 at danger to reach 9G14. The loco couples successfully. I take it this is the only way to do it? I mean, instead of getting 9G14 to run to the LOS to fit in the "reversing area", could one not simply send it from IR100 down to IR107 and see if it knows where to stop before dividing? Or would it just run all the way to IR107 and expect to be sent further on?

Is anyone else able to set a route from IR100 to the LOS, or is it just me?

Thanks.

Lazzer, its obvious that you have not read 58050's answer properly above. The move is click IR207, click LOS! No mention of IR100. The only problem is, as you found out is that you have to Spad 0G14 past IR207, a known bug.

According to the 3rd edition (2006) of Quail map book for the Eastern Region there is a run round road at Grimsby Ti-Oxide Sidings. Strange no one else has reported this problem. It wasn't even raised when the multi-player testing was done. As far as I know the train is routed correctly & never ran via Immingham East Junction. If anyone else has had the same problem can you please add a post to this thread.
