Reminder Appliances on Auto Signals Replaced To Danger. 15/05/2016 at 10:01 #82365
Giantray 347 posts	This may have been highlighted before, but I couldn't find it. I do not work IECC however I am qualified in WestCad. So not sure if this applies on IECC, but in WestCad, when an Auto Signal is used to protect a level crossing, or anything else, the Signaller will replace the Auto Signal to Danger using the replacement facility and would place a reminder appliance on the replacement facility, not the signal. This is because it is the replacement facility that holds the signal at danger not the signal itself. In Simsig, a reminder appliance can be placed on the auto signal but not on the replacement, so the Simsig Signaller could inadvertently operate the replacement to clear the signal, leading to an incident. I know Simsig is only a game, but it is meant to simulate reality. Professionalism mean nothing around a bunch of Amateur wannabees! Log in to reply

EDIT: also, as per real IECCs - a collared, inactive ERS can still be used to replace a signal to danger Last edited: 15/05/2016 at 10:04 by JamesN Log in to reply The following users said thank you: headshot119, Giantray, LMK

Giantray 347 posts	Thanks JamesN. Always learning on Simsig! The other day I was going to give up SimSig because I was finding a clash with work. Namely, right clicking a signal brought up a drop down menu in Simsig, but at work replaced a signal to danger. However I discovered I had an option to change this in the options menus to right clicking replaces the signal to danger. I really need to read the Manuals lol.
