Clearing point violations and Lambert north UGL Today at 15:15 #160562

I'm playing the central scotland sim, using the August 2006 timetable with Interlocking enabled.

I've got a slow train that I'm wanting to route out of the way of a passenger service by sending into the Lambert North UGL - but I can't work out how to avoid a clearing point violation when I do.

There's nothing ahead of the train, but as soon as it goes onto the goods line, and exits the main-line track section immediately before LN46 and the points I always get a violation. How is this avoided? The maps in the manual either aren't helpful - or, more likely, I'm not reading them right.

Thanks in advance.
Dave

My guess is (without reading the manual or looking at the sim) that you're getting it because the points at the end of the sidings are set reverse. You will probably need to set them to normal before signalling a train into the loop.

I don't know this to be true of Larbert North (note the spelling) but certainly my experience of Western boxes leads me to suspect that 37 would probably require 32 (the right hand disc (LN30 is the left hand disc, the two together are identified by the sim as LN30)) with 31 points reverse. But that would be enforced by the mechanical interlocking and isn't really a question of clearing points. Surely LN31 points are not in the clearing point with a colour light distant.
