Fictional replace 37 and ETHEL with 37/4 on 1Y01 Today at 07:41 #157868

I have attempted to create a (personal) timetable for 1989, from the 1984 / 1986 timetable, Old layout
This uses a Cl 37/4 instead of Cl 37 and ETHEL

5Y01 arrives into P2
However for some reason it refuses to fully enter
As a result the shunt with 0Y01 cannot take place, so I concentrated solely on 5Y01
I even added the
Stopping Position Near end exact, but this does not appear in the original

I have tested all the trains from Westerton, even swapping them into P2, no issues

Ironically, 1Y01 is now shorter, but the movement is simply taking the Light Engine from P7 to P2, joining 5Y01, then returning back to P7
I have compared as much as I can but am no further forward trying to work out where the issue is
Please advise

Try setting FX instead of NX, as Near and Far end are viewed from the direction of travel of the train. NX means the train will stop as soon as it's behind the signal in rear (which you can observe in your screenshot).

Yes, my mistake, I would normally use that term in Carlisle
Excellent, 5Y01 now runs fully into P2

The question remains now, why does the default position work until I revise the
37 + ETHEL
into
37/4
It looks like the loco is at the wrong end?

Another change I thought about was to amend
0Y01 Eastfield - Mossend
to Cowlairs instead
Use a Cl 47 instead on 1Y01 and have it detach once arrived at
Eastfield DPL
5Y01 would then have a Cl 47 at the southern end and a Cl 37/4 at the northern end
1Y01 would then arrive with a Cl 47 at the southern end only, 5Y01 is then a simple move from P2 to P7

By 1988 / 1989 were Cl 37/4 in use?
When did the sleeper swap to Edinburgh?
