Hi all, Can anyone enlighten me as the to location name of the headshunt opposite the West Yard Roads 1-6 exit in the Exeter Station area. It has routes to and from Roads 1-6 and Roads 7-12 but I can find an obvious location name. See picture attached. Vince  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Vince, It's part of Exeter St Davids South (rev) "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply |

It's done like that so you don't have to use the designated line, you have a choice of where to send it and the location will be ticked off. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: VInce |

Peter, Thank you - I'm messing around with a previously published historic timetable and wanted to put in some regular shunts to and from one side to the other during the night, and some timetabled moves during the day.

Peter, Can you advise what the capacity of the headshunt is? It appears it won't accommodate a 2-car unit (38m) Vince I walk around inside the questions of my day, I navigate the inner reaches of my disarray, I pass the altars where fools and thieves hold sway, I wait for night to come and lift this dread away : Jackson Browne - The Night Inside Me Log in to reply |

It's 25m long in the simulation. Which is about its length in real life.

VInce in post 111283 said:Peter,About a loco length. You can still use it to shunt units so they can clear the pointwork within the yard though. They just won't fully fit behind the GPL "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: VInce |
