Getting 6V20-1 into Hackney Sidings Walkthrough

Settings: TT: Exeter Summer 2006 v2.226, Perfect conditions, start time 00:30

6V20-1 enters at Bridgwater at 00:31. Route it through Exeter P4 to Newton Abbot P2 (Signal 88)

6V20-1 arrives, but note its rear end extends beyond 211, so it's useless trying to set a route from this to Hackney Sidings as the train now faces Up, and this signal is to the rear of the front of the train (i.e., the train has already passed this signal).

Instead, set the route from 671 to Hackney Yard. All will be well. No need to force it to reverse or shunt forward.

After a short interval, 6V20-1 begins to move into Hackney yard, all by itself.
