Running the Summer 2017 TT, I regulated 4S43 at Quintinshill DPL for the passage of 9S47 and 1S46 and was surprised when the overlap dropped out just before the rear of 4S43 got inside clear. Thinking 4S43 must be pretty close to the length limit for the loop for this to happen I then checked 4S43's length (I know, I should have checked before I ran it in there) and was surprised to find it showing in the F2 window as 721m, when the loop length is shown on the sim as 566m. I've attached a save. Phil. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

Assuming it's a Fliner it can't be longer than about 500m "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Phil-jmw |

These trains are approx 640m to 740m in length. See attached link to the video I took: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9V-bSH7_QU I believe the loop has an incorrect length 566m.
