As a newbie on Simsig, but an experienced operational railwayman, I seem to be having a little difficulty in interposing TDs.

I took the Huddersfield simulation to get the hang of it all. The difficulty I'm having is in the case of a train arriving and then forming two services, departing in opposite directions.

The train arrives with a description which I can then change to a new one with no problem. I then need to interpose another description for the second train but I can't find a way to do it.

I've used the right click interpose menu and that doesn't work and neither does the "Train Describer Menu".

Attached is a case in point - I have 2J26 at one end and I need 2F89 at the other. the only way I've found to do it is a sticky as shown and then interpose once the train (2F89 in this case) has left and is in the next running signal berth.

I'm sure I'm missing something - can anyone help?

Each berth is associated with the relevant signal so in order to interpose into the berth behind 2J61 then right click on 764 signal and select "Interpose Train description". If right clicking does not do anything then go F3, control and then untick "right click cancels route" and try again

Alternatively, press 'I', enter the description in the box, press enter and click on the signal you want to interpose at.
