I have 8Z03 standing for reversal at shunt 232 at Hitchin.However it appears to be standing on the wrong track circuit.It has gone beyond the immediate TC in rear of Shunt-232 and to the next one in line,thereby also releasing the locking on the point for the flyover.As a result it is also possible to swing the points to the flyover which could lead to a derailment(I know it is not possible in Simsig but just pointing it out): Khalid.

Quote:As a result it is also possible to swing the points to the flyover which could lead to a derailmentIs it such a big deal? I mean, situations like this are common in SimSig (eg. North Wales Coast) and usually the train driver just calls the signaler to ensure he has the points locked. So given everyone is behaving normally, it shouldn't lead to derailment. Log in to reply |

Lovely. (Though again, you shouldn't ever get it if you do it correctly!) Last edited: 07/11/2013 at 20:04 by Danny252 Log in to reply |
