Is it supposed to be the case that you can't shunt in the Hereford area? I was trying to shunt a train to H2 and back but alas no good?

Shouldn't have any problems after pressing check for updates in your loader :)

Using the latest sim version 1.0 build 6 after checking for updates this morning and starting a new sim I am unable to call a route from H34 GPL Sig on the Down Main. It doesn't even flash to try and initiate calling a route. I was hoping to set a route from H34 to H10 on the Up Main.

That isn't a signaled move in the era simulated. You need to use Brecon Curve GF, and talk the driver by.

I've not seen any posts regarding this yet, but occasionally I don't get the Up/Down Train Approaching indication. It's previously happened on the Up at Bromfield, the Down at Tram Inn, and now I've caught it on the Up at Tram Inn. I've attached a save.


Regards,

Phil.

In this era then H34 is effectively a LOS only, but previously it was possible to set routes from H34?

Did the annunciatior definitely not go off, as opposed to just silencing when 2B01 hit the berth track?

There was once a little siding which was what H34 was for, in effect it's an LOS in the simulation era, though possible to talk passed it for the ground frame.

A strange thing happened to me last night: I had a train enter at Ledbury and the Ledbury signaller requested the slot. I accepted, but immediately there was a message saying the train had had an ACOA at a Ledbury signal. The train then proceeded to Shelwick Jn as normal after phoning Control.

No other trains about and the block for the Ledbury line was normal before it happened; but this was the second of two successive trains through the block in the same direction. Unfortunately I didn't think to take notes when it happened.

Hi,

In the token instrument in Pantyfffynnon box, the label says "Llaneilo" - is that a deliberate misspelling?

Thanks
Jamie

Looking at the area, I also see a crossing that does not appear to be depicted at all: Snipped Link

Yes you're right, between Llandybie and Ammanford there is an AOCL called Brynmarlais (at 12m 28ch) which is indeed missing from the sim.

Spotted a small mistake while playing Hereford today:

Crossing 273 on the HoW is Cilyrychen (so spelling is slightly wrong) but more importantly it is an ABCL (crosses the main A483 road) not a UWC.

Cheers.

Brynmarlais AOCL doesn't have a direct telephone line to Pantyffynnon according to the sectional appendix diagram I used at the time the simulation was written, or the concentrator schematic, hence it hasn't been included in the sim. If I'd included every crossing along the HOWL without a phone, we'd have around another 200 crossings. If there hadn't already been so many crossings it might have been included just as a label, but not on this occasion.

I agree the spelling is wrong, so I've added that to 33085 to correct. As for the type of crossing NESA has it now as an ABCL. The original table A digram I used when making the sim has an AOCL marked, and a "cattle creep", with the cattle creep having the phones. I don't know if you're local to the area? If you are was that ever the case or was it a mistake in the SA.
