0S26 booked to depart from platform 15 at 23.45 for CAMDEN YARD is AC powered; Camden Yard is unwired! I have managed to send loco to Camden Yard as per WTT but in the 'trains list'. it shows that 0S26 is "OUT OF VALID TRACK" on completion of the movement. Can anybody enlighten me? Terry.

It indicates that the train cannot go any further due to the track being unwired. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Last edited: 09/01/2017 at 21:58 by BarryM Reason: c Log in to reply |

Thank you Barry for your reply. However, I am slightly bemused! If this engine has been correctly routed (as it has been), why does it still show on the 'train list'? At the end of the simulation, it will still show in the 'train list' which means, surely, it has not been disposed of. I know this is a very minor issue but I am curious! Terry.

It has run out of "overhead" power. Consequently, it has not been correctly disposed of. Did you get a message from the driver? The reply answer should have given you a list of alternatives.

No message from the driver, indeed nothing to tell me that the engine was in trouble. However, what I don't understand is why an AC powered loco is programmed into Camden Yard if the Yard is "unwired". Terry. Terry Log in to reply |

However, what I don't understand is why an AC powered loco is programmed into Camden Yard if the Yard is "unwired".Depending on the approach of the timetable creator, this may be what appeared in the real-life WTT (a little boo-boo like that was among the least of sins that you could find if you looked for them). Sometimes there would be a WTT amendment, particularly if there were significant alterations (a train needed timings for a completely different route, for instance), but the Simsig timetable creator won't always have access to pieces of paper like that (often a piece of duplicated A4 (or foolscap) carrying a number of short-term or one-off traffic notices). And sometimes it would be left to the signalmen on the spot to work it out for themselves, often 'on the fly' on a day-to-day basis. I'd imagine a light engine being got rid of would be quite likely to be the latter and a signalman would not usually have a great problem, since their job invariably involved dealing with minor perturbations of a similar magnitude anyway.

Thanks for that. In this situation, how would I re-route the engine, for instance, to Willesden TMD? Without re-editing the timetable, I can envisage that the driver of this loco would challenge any different route set for it.

The yard is all electrified except for the bit to the left of T275, so that probably isn't the problem. Which lights are lit on the ground frame panel and what are all the lever positions? My first guess would be that lever 15 is in the wrong position.

I'm going going to have to come back to you on this as I've deleted the Euston simulation and started afresh using the '1990's simulation period' as before. Incidentally, I have checked in the manual and I cannot see any reference to the point you make about non-electrification being only partial in Camden Yard. I went by the diagram showing the line to and from Camden Yard as being 'unwired'. Forgive me if I have failed to read the manual properly. Terry. Terry Log in to reply |

In addition, I've just realized that I was looking at the source for the development version, so it might not match the current release (Euston is somewhere on the queue for conversion to loader).
