If two trains have different Train descriptions, e.g. 1A12 & 1A14 but have the same Unique Identity (UID), does this cause conflict on trains entering the sim at entry points?

Yes, the sim won't let a second train with the same UID enter until the first exits or forms a new working.

I guessed as much. Have now got over 1200 trains to give individual UIDs. Because I used 'duplicate' to create blocks of trains over a period, whilst everything updates on the schedule, the UID doesn't.

Hi Giantray,

Yes it's the reverse of what you have done, the headcode / description can be the same but as Steamer has said the UIDs must be different for the trains to enter properly. Adding a, b, c etc to the end of the UID would be enough of a differentiation if you didn't want to go through and change them all completely, but depending on how you have used next workings and joins and divides, you would need to check the train actions too that they match with the new UID. Same with any rules you may have added.

As someone who doesn't have access to the real UIDs for mine it is the headcode then TOC and then a number depending on how many variations of the headcode there are for that TOC during the day eg 1A12SN1 1A14SN1 1A12SN2 etc etc

HTH
