I do not appear to have any problem moving (AC) light locos released from northbound services I then move them to the Wall, and they disappear However, I have been unable to work out how to retrieve them I have a test working, simulation starts at 00:00 0C01 00:50 Wall to UP LOS, reverse CE336, SB There is no suitable entry point for this I am able to create a Seed at Signal CE320, but the loco is required at 14:50 and not the timetable start Once this works, I need to set the time to 14:50 Any and all advice welcome DELETED Last edited: 18/12/2020 at 16:34 by mjkerr Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Trains don't disappear into wall siding. They remain in the sim, but aren't visible as there's no track circuiting. That's why there's no entry location ( on the F2 list you'll be able to see the train sat in the siding.) Seed the loco at the signal at the north end, then make the first timetable location Wall siding with a departure time of 14:50. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

This is according to reality as there is no yard control who inform you about entering trains for tracks that are under your own control. It is your job as signaller to make sure you don't put more trains in the wall siding than fit in it.

mjkerr in post 134875 said:jc92 in post 134874 said:So you want the F2 train listing to be inaccurate. The loco has run into the Wall Siding the previous day and is available in the signaller's area of control right through until 14:50. In real life it would be a hot spare for the operators in the event of a loco failure. It could be used in the SimSig situation by re-timetabling on the fly if things have become disturbed and a loco is needed for a traction change. Perhaps SimSig is not for you if realism causes annoyance.I dont understand why its annoying? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Stephen Fulcher |

As others have said, it represents a situation where a loco has been run in at some point the previous day and it is incumbent on you to know it's there. Imagine if a hack was introduced to allow the loco to materialise at 14:50. Some poor hapless player, knowing the wall siding was empty, could have run something in there and that could cause problems. Unless we just pretend the wall siding is a siding complex or something with multiple roads, in which case, you know, well I think we all prefer realism.I dont understand why its annoying?

I solved the problem, the loco is supposed to be in SB It is an operation from the previous day, so I had to go back three hours to find out where it had come from The loco is released from the previous day Euston - Carlisle service As a result I already had a loco for that next service In effect two Class 87/0, where I only needed one DELETED Last edited: 18/12/2020 at 20:37 by mjkerr Reason: None given Log in to reply |

As for operations from the Wall Are they sequential? So if I send in : Class 47/4, Class 86 then Class 87/0 Does the sim correctly send out the Class 87/0 first? DELETED Last edited: 18/12/2020 at 20:45 by mjkerr Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Yes, as it is one track. It works just like a platform or siding track, it just doesn't have an exit on the south side. If one of the rear locos wants to leave, it will show status 'Train xxxx in front'. AJP in games Log in to reply |

The sim doesn't 'send them out' you're thinking about it like an entry/exit point when it isn't, it's like a bay platform or track-circuited siding. The trains stay in the sim so yes indeed they will remain in the order that they are sent in all the while they are in there and they will necessarily depart in reverse order. And if you put trains in in the wrong order then they can get trapped behind trains that depart later. The fact that the siding isn't track circuited doesn't mean the trains have left the sim, it just means they're not standing on a track circuit so their presence isn't displayed to the signaller on the panel. Oxford has a number of non-track circuited sidings where trains reverse throughout the day (at least in the era I last played it did). Hours of fun.

Is there any way to resolve this? The loco has ended duties, then sent to wall Now it sits in the Train List for the remainder of the day  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. DELETED Log in to reply |

There's nothing to 'resolve'. As has been made clear further up the thread, the train is still in the simulation, therefore it's shown on the F2 list. If you really don't like it showing up, dump it in one of the yards where it'll fall off the sim. Kingmoor will do.

The loco will continue to take up space in the wall siding (i.e. less room for other trains) unless you instruct it to go elsewhere. This is according to reality.

I think I have found it I have a Class 87/0 on 0P49, then run round I assumed that was correct Instead this could be a Class 86 which then goes spare to 11:00 DELETED Log in to reply |

So you mean post sectorisation, not just the 1980s.

This looks like an oversight and I simplified the Class 87/0 usage It would appear this is always one spare, but they swap over during the 24 hour period I had it coming in from Wall Departing to Wall, then spare There is then the Carlisle - Euston service, but I recycled that Class 87/0 (Run Round) Next is the Stranraer - Euston, again I recycled that loco (Run Round) However at this time Class 87 were shared with Freight, and I have not included any GSW swap locos (which would have taken place within the station area; S2, S1, P1, P3, SB, SA or P1 DELETED Last edited: 20/12/2020 at 20:29 by mjkerr Reason: None given Log in to reply |
