1984 - Train 1C62 not appearing

This is due to timetables involving movements from Carstairs to Carstairs UPL not validating and as a result the train with those timetables will not enter. I've tried amending the timetables to make the train enter but to no avail. It seems to be a sim issue.

Additionally, the download is labeled "sim v4.3.67" and the current release is, I believe, v4.2.3 so presumably a release fixing this issue is just around the corner. Maybe Peter or Bill can give an update?

I also noticed 1C62 not appearing.

Additionally, I found two signals in the Mossend Yard area with odd behaviour.

Signal M317 will not call on a route to the main Coatbridge UP line giving code "no overlap available". This may be intentional but forces the signaller to give permission to a reversing train/loco to pass it at red in order to facilitate a join.

Signal M307 does not manually cancel so it blocks the points ahead to a permanent normal position. I think it only cancels after traffic has passed it.

Not clear what the circumstances are of your experience but the manual may assist?

However, the yard controller doesn't seem inclined to return the signal to danger, preventing the new engine from going on, and the signal doesn't return to danger when cancelled. I think the yard controller is resetting it immediately, as I can get it to eventually cancel after collaring it then cancelling.

I think in that situation you can phone the yard controller and ask him to restore the signal back to danger, as per the manual.

There was already a 1984 TT in the Timetables section for 4.3, with an edited version to work with 4.2.3. I am currently using the V4.3 TT and apart from the odd 1S** losing its ARS status at Carstairs after detaching a portion and not allowing it to be remade ARS, and a rule missing stating that 6B86 shouldn't depart until **mins after 6D72 has arrived at Uddingston Viewpark (6D72 was very late and wtg fitters attn at Newton when 6B86 called up from Viewpark), I'm up to 0420 and all is working well.

The issue with regards to the 1S** losing their ARS status is due to there being 2 trains in sim with the same headcode (if you look in the F2 train list after the divide you should see 2 1S**'s at Carstairs), the 1S**'s divide and the front portion is a new train also with the headcode of 1S**, normally after the remaining 1S** has joined the LightLoco from Carstairs and become 1B** you should be able to reinstate the ARS on the forward working 1S**.

Update on 1984 timetables.

The sim has updated via loader to data version 4.3. The previous timetable anyone has been using (v1.1 for sim 4.2.3) will not work. User timetables do not update through loader.

I have edited the timetable and both version analyse with no errors on 4.3. The timetable is now version 2.
The timetable has not been run through in sim as it is only one train different to that initially tested thoroughly. Any feedback welcome.

The new zip is in the upload approval queue and also on my gensheet webspace.

Having previously run the TT for V4.2.3 with no major issues I am currently using the V4.3 TT and apart from the odd 1S** losing its ARS status at Carstairs after detaching a portion and not allowing it to be remade ARS, and a rule missing stating that 6B86 shouldn't depart until **mins after 6D72 has arrived at Uddingston Viewpark (6D72 was very late and wtg fitters attn at Newton when 6B86 called up from Viewpark), I'm up to 0420 and all is working well.

Hi Phil,

Yes I have had a version for 4.3 out before (I jumped the gun: my misunderstanding & a late sim issue) but because 4.2.3 stayed 'public' for a lot longer, hence the edit back to allow working with 4.2.3.

This is a simple edit of 0M25 on from that first 'for 4.3' timetable, so should be OK.

The ID setup at Carstairs is deliberate as this way the Glasgow section will pick up ARS automatically when signalled forward, saving a lot of unnecessary interposing. UID's from Carstairs are 1Sxx02 so the sim can tell them apart.

The Viewpark entry is not an error, yesterdays 6D71 is in there at the start and there are two trains in at once.
I have also not prevented causing a 'Mexican'.
6D71 in 2228 - 6B86 out 0122
6D72 in 0145 - 6B81 out 0934
0T77 in 1244 - 8T77 out 1312
6D71 in 2228 - 6B86N out 2522
6D72N in at 2542

Glad you are liking it

regards
Bill
