Hello Joe,

Re 5F01S; I thought it was not permissible for a train to back out of Camden Carriage Sidings?

Keep up the good work.

I've got another rule to be added:

5H05 must appear 5 mins after 0H05 leaves the area.

Currently got 0H05 sitting in the DCS shunt neck while 5H05 is at Park St Tunnels.

Minor issue here - I think I'm playing Wednesday. I have 5A29 sat in one of the DCS shunt necks at 1052, but it isn't due to leave until 1655. Perhaps this is intentional? It shows as over 10 hours late. The only thing I can think of is that the seed train, 5A40-1 has no entry time, only a rule which says it must appear 40 minutes after 5A40 leaves the area (due to enter Camden CS at 0853).
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

5A40-1 isnt a seed as such, it is ECS from euston, which has been cleaned and watered in the shed. it does intentionally sit in the neck for most of the day. i had entered it without an entry time on the basis it would leave the shed after it had been cleaned, not nessesarily to a specific timetabled time. that is (i suspect) as you say the cause of the problem.

Ah, fair enough. I was just a bit surprised to see something blocking one of the shunt necks considering how busy they had been a little earlier in the sim!

Absolutely loving the TT; its great fun (until you get a TC failure slicing the station in half!)

In which case you can use the set as a hot spare to fill a gap and then put an equivalent back into the neck later.

I have a definitive yes/no answer now, which is that yes, propelling from camden was authorised.
Keith Barber (Kbarber on here) has cleared this up with reference to the sectional appendix.

later in the timetable a pair of anglo scottish sets berth in camden for cleaning and servicing, before later propelling out aswell.

I have submitted an updated Version of this timetable (awaiting approval) which deals with some minor errors and updates the way light locos are timetabled. this has been labelled V3.0.0 should you wish to update your existing copy

Ah, lovely. This is one of my favourite Simsig TTs, especially when I close some lines.

What exactly are the changes with regard to the light locos? I can't recall ever coming across a problem with any particular loco.

there was no true problem, but light locos went out of the station on one headcode which then changed at the backing out roads, station throat, or park st tunnels. this has been revised to a single headcode. this meant a) if you wanted to hold him there and he called in theres no option to tell him to wait time, which is a core code bug for newly formed services, whereas now you can tell him to wait time. and b) it makes it an awful lot harder to see what a light loco is doing before you released it from the station.

Ah yes, I do find it slightly annoying to have to change the headcode when the loco gets to PST, I admit. The light loco moves are what makes this TT challenging.

it was submitted about 2 weeks ago. I followed the correct naming convention as per the uploads page. I have no PM to tell me it has been declined so I would imagine it is still awaiting approval. I will upload it again just in case something went wrong.

Joe,

Very good effort on this timetable, thanks for that, i found some (issues?) while playing the MX day:

Sim time: [01:10]

1. I have 4R24MX standing at P12, (0R24 already DEF) and 4R24MX is waiting to join with 0T08-10MX. (Depart 02:25). I check the rules for that engine (0T08-10MX) and i got this:

0T08-10MX must appears 4 minutes after 3A64MX leaves the area.
------
3A64MX enters at 01:11, stop at P13 01:19 and DEF "0A64-1" then waits for join with 0T08-12MX. (Depart 02:00).
------
0T08-12MX must appears 1 minute after 0T08-1 leaves the area.
Note: 0T08-1 already leave the area (00:32) to Parcels (Joined with 5F01S at P14)

Conclusion:

My madness will start because 0T08-12MX is not entering in correct time (00:33 in my case).

This rule is not working:
"0T08-12MX must appears 1 minute after 0T08-1 leaves the area."

Note: All the delays and failures are "OFF".

I'm just reporting because i don't know if anyone has experienced the same situation.

Important: I hope I have expressed myself better than other times, I hope that users have understood what I have to explain, English is not my first language, but I'm trying to improve as time goes by.

Save game: [01:10]

0T08-12MX enters at 01:40 at my game, just after 3A66MX finish to DEF "0A66-3" at P2.

[attachment=2526]0140-1980V300-MX.ssg[/attachment]

It enters 01:07 after the correct time (00:33 my case).

Just wanted to offer a congratulations on an incredibly fun and dynamic timetable.

I'm doing moves here I didn't even know were possible, having only played the default TT before this. Keeping me on my toes!

Thanks for making this.

Question - how many individual Class 501 units are used for the Watford Junction services in this TT? To put it another way - how many 501s are there (should there) be between Euston and Watford Junction at any one time? My instinct tells me it's either two or three.

Hi,

Regarding the TT randomly selecting a day of the week, is it possible to somehow force it to select a Friday? There appear to be several more trains on that day.

Just wondering if there's a way to do it without just restarting the sim until I get the right day.

Cheers

Delete (or set to 0% chance of entering) the other four of 5Z21 MON/TUE/WED/THU/FRI, and set the one you do want to run to 100% chance of entering.

In general, this "trick" works with any random day of the week timetable, and you simply need to find the relevant train used to choose the day.

And don't forget to take out the "are atlernatives" rule or you will have 4 runs in 5 where no "Day of the Week" seed enters.

If you want to create a suite of 5 TTs (one for each day of the week) take out the "are alternatives" rule, give the MON seed a 100% chance, the others 0% then save as MON TT. Following that, revert the MON seed to 0%, make the TUE seed 100%, save as TUE TT etc. etc.

Maybe I'm missing something but playing this right now it seems there are still a lot of light locos leaving the station and becoming new headcodes halfway through the shunt. Timetable says its "Euston 1980 draft V3.0.0"
