I note that the scratchpad for the Down Decoy Yard has only has one train ID slot. I assume that's because only one train can occupy the yard at any one time. For some reason I thought that more than one train could be at that location.  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

Do you mean a four-digit 'train describer berth'? The train describer doesn't have any bearing on how many trains you can put onto a piece of track.

As you said, it's just a scratchpad: the berth is not connected to anything. The yard has a lot of capacity and is an entry/exit-point from the simulation point of view. Trains you send there exit the simulation, and new trains can enter there. I don't think SimSig is simulating any kind of limit on how many trains can be in there at any one time. Log in to reply |

Thanks for the replies which clarify things for me. I did wonder about the one scratchpad berth but I didn't think that there could be only one train in there. Plenty go in and plenty come out. 🙂 Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |

The 1988 Eastern Region Quail shows 11 dead Sdgs & a cripple Sdg in Down Decoy Yard. At that time was usually filled with MGR sets.
