Not sure if this is a TT issue or sim issue so stick it here for now. Running the 2007 TT with poor adhesion option and no ARS. Finding that if you hold trains at BY1039 they will not accelerate above 2mph causing problems, I've removed the last few trains to help keep the sim running realistically. Any ideas?

Barnsley - Huddersfield is a real climb, especially between Barnsley and summer lane Jcn where the line singles. that combined with low adhesion and a standing start is probably causing this issue. I recall Sheffield .exe had a similar issue with trains to grindleford from a standing start at totley. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

jc92 in post 122182 said:That's exactly what it is. A previous version of the core code, in a similar situation, had trains running away out of control down the North London Incline. I changed the code to add emergency sanding: trains which can't cope with the gradient (in either direction) creep along. Log in to reply |

Adverse conditions have always had a disruptive effect on Sheffield ever since the original .exe sim was released. Have a look at this post!

Can a fix be added to the Christmas wish list for what Santa brings me in a few weeks? Been a good boy this year! Log in to reply |

The loco simply doesn't have enough adhesion to pull that load up that gradient. If I removed the 2 mph code, it would be doing 0 mph instead. Log in to reply |

clive in post 122193 said:The loco [...] What if the train in question is an MU, though? The ratio of adhesive weight to total weight is an important factor in this case and it will differ significantly between loco-hauled trains and MUs, and even within those classes, too. Simsig however currently doesn't expose this factor in its train type properties, so if the internal physics model were to use a value that is more typical of loco-hauled trains (i.e. a low ratio of adhesive to total weight), then under low-adhesion conditions MUs would fare worse than they'd do in reality. Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick. Log in to reply |

And in the case of loco-hauled trains, I'd expect an extra loco to be provided if weather conditions warranted it. In the old days, that might have meant conditional banking; these days it might occasionally double-heading (but conditions would have to be very bad for that, not merely wet rails).

Simsig knows this is a 30m train with medium acceleration and presumably medium weight. I can't see anything that sticks out that says "this train shouldn't be able to handle a standing start. A multiple unit can (and of course do IRL) handle that line and even if it was a 30m loco and one coach I can't see there would be issues.Can a fix be added to the Christmas wish list for what Santa brings me in a few weeks?Fix what?

The incline at that signal is 1 in 50 and the schedule shows (per save) a medium weight, medium/intercity-type of train. Since it's a 142 I would expect a light weight and high/commuter-type of train. Indeed, if you change the type to this, it does accelerate up the hill. So the timetable needs correcting.

An updated version of the Sheffield 2007 timetable has now been uploaded to the website and is currently awaiting Moderator approval. This version fixes the 2mph issue and also has dwell times added to give more realism under Late Running conditions. Enjoy! Edit: Now approved and available for Download.
