In the 1981 timetable, I've sent a train which is 129m long to Up Siding No.1 as per its timetable (If I remember correctly).
It doesn't appear to fit. Have I made a mistake?

Does anybody know what the length of this siding is?

US1 is 495M long.

In sim if you look for an orange box at the bottom f the sim that has LEN in it and click on it it will show the siding lengths

As for having you done something wrong without a save no one can say, but if that is where it stopped that chances are something else is in the siding

Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse. Boldly going forward, still can't find reverse. Boldly going forward, and things are getting worse!.

I'm going to have to go back to my saved gams at sim time 000256.

I've clicked the three orange boxes and can now see the siding length.

With regard to something else being in that particular siding, if there was, I should have shown it on the scratch pad. Maybe I forgot. I'll see what's gone on with the re-run.
I always populate the sim area with sticky notes to show departure times and Head codes, doing this at the very beginning, hence the early save.

EDIT: Unfortunately, 9G07 was already in the siding in my ealier save so I've had to start afresh. 👿

Ok. I've restarted with a new game.

Typical 🙄 It ahs fitted the siding this time so I don't think that providing any saves will be beneficial.

Did you look at F2 to see what was showing the siding as a current location?

I started a new game. There was nothing in any of the Up Decoy Yard sidings according to the train list.
