I'm currently up to about 11:00 on the enjoyable 1983 t/t and have noticed these minor problems at Hunterston. 1 - PH495R does not have an R label, leading to the dimwitted signaller vainly trying to set a route to it from PK477 2 - Setting the route PH513 to PH525 also causes PH525 to PH533 to be set 3 - There's no route from PH525 to the pseudosignal into Fairlie High Sidings, so it's necessary to talk the driver past (perhaps that's stereotypical?)

1 - I can see it on my version (4.5) 2 - Yes but that's probably what you want, if you need it just as far as 525 then release the groundframe first 3 - this looks like a genuine bug, I've raised it on the tracker as 15598 Log in to reply |

I had 4.3, which I only downloaded a few days ago. Perhaps I hadn't checked for updates, as when I did the only update offered was Paisley 4.5. As you say, the R label is now there. As to no. 2, are you saying the behaviour is prototypical? I can't think of anywhere else where setting a route causes the automatic setting of the route in advance. I became aware of this situation when a freight for Fairlie ran almost all the way to Largs station before I realised that 1) a controlled signal had cleared without my having told it to; and 2) the freight driver had accepted the route and passed his/her destination without a second thought.

As you say, the R label is now there.I'm unsure of the area but I can't imagine it was added without it being prototypical, hopefully Peter will see this thread and comment. As for the lack of wrong route coding, that probably is a bug. Mantis 15599 Log in to reply The following user said thank you: trolleybus |

2- Should be conditional on the auto button being active (fixed). 3- There's no PL on signal PH525 head which is nearly 2 miles from the frame, so I doubt the GF would control the aspect and no exit button on the panel. If I recall correctly you should simply set the route to PH533 and the train should stop at the GF. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Looking at a picture of the panel there's a collar over a button at both sidings, suggesting an entry/exit button is provided. Your own photo is clearer, looks like you're missing catch points on both sidings too. I'm not sure why there's no shunt signal provided. Last edited: 20/08/2016 at 18:52 by Sacro Log in to reply |

" said:Ah ok, I can't see where that's said, though I guess there'd be a second button for a route. I wonder if then they set the route towards Largs once the frame is release, I know that happens at other locations. Log in to reply |

" said:Are you sure, did it get to PH533? If the train is booked to go to the siding then it should stop at the GF and the driver phone-in: does for me. Or was it that it just looked like it had gone too far because it's shown as a single TC? Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

No, I'm not certain. I had a few problems at the time and was running at the slowest sim speed, with a screenload of unanswered phone calls. However the train had passed Hunterston a long time age, and was still moving.
