I have a slight problem with the Peterborough May - Sept 1985 V2.0.3 timetable.

As I’ve recently embarrassed been myself by reporting a problem that didn’t appear to exist, I would like a couple of questions answered before I attach any saves.
A 6H32 enters the sim from Whittlesea and is scheduled to enter the Goods line where 0H32 is detached from the front. (see 1st screenshot)
Now, I hope that you don’t think that this is a schoolboy question, but there’s no mention in the train list description of 6H32 that there is a Class 31 at the head of its formation, or indeed anywhere else. (see 2nd screenshot).

Does this really matter?

Buggy, what’s a class 31 got to do with it. Train description shows class 47?

he means (although not mentioned clearly) that 0H32RR2 is described as a class 31, in other words it drops a 47 and gains a 31 but the description doesnt change. the train type is a 47 so its clearly a type on the train description.

No it doesn't affect the operation of the sim, the train will run just the same. I'll let pascal know.

The train description has no typo the train that came in had a cl 47, then that was taken off for a class 31 to join, but as the decrisption had already been set adding and removing loco or stock will not change it, the only way to change the desription is to split the schedual so that after the join it has next train that you can enter a new description on, with the new stock that makes it up

yes but 0H32RR2 is incorrectly described as a 31/1 when it should be, and its train type is, a Cl.47/0.

I was also going to explain what happened as the sim progressed, but I decided that I would re-run it from an earlier save to see if the situation that I encountered the first time around could be replicated.

I'll not say any more, but I would like someone to run the sim from the 08:10 save attached.
6H32 is entering the Peterborough Goods Line where its loco is detached and forms 0H32. According to 0H32's timetable it runs round and re-joins 6H32 and that train then proceeds to Peterborough East Sidings.

There's no rush. I'm going to start a new sim tomorrow morning (providing work doesn't get in the way).

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Thanks

What are you asking us to check? I've already explained it's a, minor typo with the train description.

Is there a further issue or error?

edit: I've run that save and 6H32/0H32 behaves as expected without any issues.

Ok I will ammend my previous, the author has describe the train in the descrition box as a Cl.31 however the train type that was put in for the 0H32's are both class 47's, the train type and description for 6H32 both say Cl.47, basicly the descriptions for 0H32's are wrong.

I read it initally as the loco that came off was a 47 and the one that joined was a 31, this way the description on 6H32 cannot change.

I'm glad he posted about 6H32 as it shows a typo in the train consist. 2 axle tank wagons are TTA not YYA. No suctank wagons as YYA. In any event I've just corrected V2.0.6 of this TT. Thanks for that. It might have slipped through the net again.

Ok. You're right. No need for any investigation.

Sorry for the confusion.
