675 posts 		6O47 stops at T345 Sig Pfm.1 Haywards Heath with the rear of its train still sitting on the points leading to the Dn Sdg North. I cleared T345 towards the spur for 6O47 to draw up and the loco detach and run fwd to the spur, which it did but in doing so had drawn the front of its train past T345, leaving the route stuck in towards the spur. I now have 0O47 trapped in the spur unable to run round its train.

Regards,

Phil.

A save game in this instance would be useful for some fault finding.

664 posts 		Hi Karl,

I've had a quick look as I thought I'd reported this on the old Brighton, (as I know myself and a tester had spotted this for my 2012 tt) but I can't find anything on the forum (may have messaged Geoff personally a long time (years) ago).

The issue of the train being too long for the run round move crept in when Brighton moved from scroll to loader. So guessing a track circuit length was reduced. As a stop gap, I reduced the length of the train.

I'll probably have somewhere some saves from it cropping up on BTN..PM if you want them sending if they'll be of any use

I suspect Phil that you didn't clear T345 until after 6O47 had come to a stand? I can only reproduce it that way round, and not if the route is set from T345 when it arrives.

That's correct. He called up from T345 then I set the route to the spur.

Yes Mark, and they state that 6O47 needs to be signalled past T345 for the train to fit, which I did, and the train has stopped beyond T345 leaving the route stuck in towards the spur and the loco trapped therein.

Are we saying that T345 must be cleared before 6O47 comes to a stand for it to fit in clear both ends? Because if that is so then the notes need to say so.

Yes. The notes could be more clear, yes, though it does imply such. Mantis 27583.

[FWIW I've also tried it just now and believe it works correctly with T345 set first, which then shows proceed once the train enters the platform. In real life the loco is past T345 while it detaches as well].

Online 		I've had no problem getting 6O47 to stop on the right place. The problem I'm having is after 0O47 runs into the shunt spur the route from T345 does not cancel leaving the route locked meaning I can't route 0O47 out of the spur.

Am I doing something wrong?

Just to check did you use the 0000 start?

6376 posts 		From further investigation, tt would appear that while the sim is about right for both timetable and sim / track length, it is just too tight to guarantee that the train does stop in exactly the right place each time. Certainly, during testing, that train did get a lot of attention and it had a number of runs where it stopped in the correct place. We'll make adjustments.

To confirm. 2019 TT with a 0000 start.

Note - The return working 6V60 needs to be treated in the same way

122 posts 		Investigating this (reloading the sim just before 6O47 passes copyhold junction a few times (not that the retrying actually made much difference)), I've finally noticed something on the third try; The version of 6O47 seeding in the 4am start has a Far end exact + 180m stop position, but the version entering at 3am from the 00:00 start has a NX+180 stop position. Given that 6V60 uses a FX stop I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this explains why the midnight start seems to be suffering worse for this issue.

This was picked up in the original report, but thank you.

The issue is in hand and it should be sorted for an update in the next few days.

1111 posts 		I'm pretty sure that the issue only occurs in the 0000 start, and yes it has been addressed for the next update.

If however you can't wait for the update all you have to do is change the stopping position of 6O47 to FX as opposed to the NX position .

Apologies to you all for this one - while testing for the original release I was playing around with the stopping positions and this re-edit slipped through the net

One thing I'm not sure if it's standard practice or not and bearing in mind I did exactly what is advised above however...

when 0O47 comes out of Down Siding North to couple onto 6O47, it locks up the point work at the north end of Platform 1 so you cannot set the route to go to Ardingly but I found a workaround which I'm not sure is used by local signallers.

I told the driver to propel back towards the shunt spur (reverse direction from Up to Down) so 6O47 was fully behind T344 after which the driver had stopped and I was able to then set the route onto the branch.

Is this usual practice? I'm running a 2009 00:00 TT with the 2000 era, just thought I ask as I'm not moaning just curious to see what others think???

Apologies for giving you more work, I did look here first to check prior to 6O47 arriving at Haywards Heath and I've now got the train on the branch however I probably have to do that trick again for it's return journey.

37 posts 		Hi all, after intense testing the problem is this and the return working are too long for the drawn sections, I believe this is in hand.
As a safe and acceptable work-round, easiest way at the mo is the have train near end stop +24m, don't clear route to headshunt, have points locked, wait for train to stop, authorise train to pass signal, the rest of the sequence works fine.

AS reported earlier testing brought up this error and the fine tuning of the sim is still ongoing,

Thanks
