Signal P51 problem

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:50:49 +0000

there was some problems in my english very very bad. i write another way......

Hello Richard. i think there are still some bugs in Hurt signalling behaviour

The "vorsignale" on the plate of signal N51 dont give indications The only aspect shown is Green even if there is a train in block section 904. I think this is a bug

Signal P2 P54 and P55 vorsignale are off and not green for trains direct to Elfeltor Only signal P4 vorsignale become green with Hauptsignale P4 for trains direct to Elfeltort. I think this is not normal

Train coming on left track to Bruhl have always F00001 ...F00002..... on block sections and the correct train number from A302 (where it is fixed when Bruhl give me permission to send train by ZNp801) go on block indication 930. Is this normal ?

I have always problems to send more then one train on left track to Bruhl. If i fix route when the first train sent to Bruhl is on track 932 or 931 or 930 signal at Hurt K (for example signal N1) is red until first train disappear. But if 932 931 and 930 are track referred at Bruhl station is this correct ? i dont understand. I think that when train is on block 932 it is in bruhl station and in this moment the entrance signal at Bruhl is red and so this signal protect this train . Why in this moment signal N1 at Hurt cant become green ? Can you confirm me that for trains coming to Bruhl on left side there is only one block section (the amount of 302+320) ?

Have a good sunday

simulation must be as real panel ?

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:57:22 +0000

hallo Richard. If i well remember speaking about Andernach simulation when i ask you why this strange representation of block section toward Brohl (there is only 36) you tell me that simulation is as in real life panel is.

Now i'm watching Hurt panel with the photos taken by Me Wim Vos and i see some differences. (for example it seems that in real panel there are not block signals towards Koln and many other differences in block section representation.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wim_vos/sets/72157627902231413/

This mean that in the next future Hurt will be made as in real panel ?

thanks for the reply and sorry for my bad english

Train 1-720 Incident Kurth - Koln Eifeltor

Mon, 03 Mar 2014 21:51:34 +0000

Running Rheingold 1996 timetable, at 0206hrs train 1-720 stops on track 104 between Hurth and Koln-Eifeltor and shows as 'Incident' in the Train Overview. Train 42609 was passing in the opposite direction at the time so my first thought was that 42609 conveyed an out-of-gauge load and 720 may have struck it. After 30 minutes 720 still had not rung in, so I called the train and got the "Nothing wrong, just operating my train" response.

I started a new sim and held 720 in Kurth station track 004 until train 42609 had passed clear onto track 001 so the two trains were not passing each other on adjacent lines. When 720 departed it stopped on track 104 again, and showed incident. I restarted the sim again and the same thing happened.

Is there a bug here?

I have saved the sim if that would be of help.

Regards,

Phil.

3 automatic RR Crossing towards Gerolstein (diesel traction line)

Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:19:59 +0000

with a clock in the hand i have tried to control closing time for these RR Crossing when a train is approching.

I noticed that they remain closed (EIN indication ON/OFF) for at maximum 3545 second.

But is so fast as in reality on Hurt signal box panel ?

thanks for the reply

KKAS not working after update

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:37:21 +0000

After I was install the last update, I can't start the sim. The starting window staying at "Collecting loose bolts and nuts...".

Is there any suggestion?

Catenary controls and catenary overview

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:43:08 +0000

In last versions these two features are not present. In next future all will be as now or maybe to re-introduce them ?

train from Hurt to Bruhl (line operations)

Sat, 09 Feb 2013 09:46:51 +0000

if i send a train towards Bruhl the bleu circle on track KH-Bruhl (that i push to make the route from signal N1--->Bruhl) remain bleu when train enter in block sections 301 and 321 and automatic fleeting signal for entrance in Bruhl go in alarm state but main entrance signal at Bruhl do not open

As i have some problems in downloading the update is this a general problem or only for my PC ?

Thanks for reply

Diego

is there a solution ?

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:39:40 +0000

If manteiner ask me to keep out of service track from Koln Sud to Hurt please someone can tell me the correct way to have train from North coming on left track (or via Eifeltor if possible)

thanks

incoming update

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:04:17 +0000

I like very much HK, especially for these two busy Railroad Crossing in the middle of the signalbox. For this reason i will be very happy if Richard and his team may give us an update version. Is this a work in progress ?

Thanks for the reply

Interesting small video

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:26:50 +0000

When video starts on signal from main line (is open for a DMU double train) there is an indication on the top (Pheraps for the destination track in HK) ? Someone can tell me somethig about this. As in Italian stellwerke i think hat this indication is not shown on signal panel in dispatcher office. is this correct ?

ciao from Italy

Update release

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:39:46 +0000

Hello Richard. Please is there some update coming for Hurt simulation stellwerke (I inted also with new clock in railway style) ? I like very much RRcrossing and for this HK is very amazing

Thanks for your reply

RR 9+450

Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:00:56 +0000

Please. if i set a route toward Railroad crossing 9+450 the Bell continue to ring and square light is off . Is there something new to know about train route set toward Railroad crossing ?

Thanks

train stopped for track occupation

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:09:27 +0000

I have block section 903 occupied after last train is arrived at HK and another train stopped waiting on block section 901. I try to contact engineer and to give him an order for signal showing stop aspect but the written order has not signal numbers correct for this train on this section and i can not issue the order.

Thanks

updates

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:29:38 +0000

I thought after the .83 version that updates would be made in parallel with the various simulations whereas I see that Gelsenk and Bonn are now with recent updates at version .91 while Andernach and Hurt are to version .85. If is possible to know are you pheraps developing aspect referred only to bigger stations ?

Thanks for reply

left track indicator

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:21:47 +0000

I notice in KAND two indicators for train routed towards next station on left side. This signal is always required or it is an optional because in HK this signal is not present in south station side.

Thanks

Kierberg scheduled time

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:46:41 +0000

i noticed that for freight trains coming toward Erfstadt (diesel line) in timetable window passing time at kierberg become the time at wich train enters in block section 352 so very similar at passing time at HK. I dont remember if the same thing happens for passenger trains without stop at Kierberg. Please is possible for Signalsoft tieam to verify

Thanks

Post scriptum

for train arriving from Erfstadt when they are near automatic railroad crossing there is a beep similar to telephone beep ma not shown in conversation window. Is this a train announce ?

Converstations with KKS

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:03:24 +0000

If i have a conversation with Koln Sud or Eifeltor (request regarding traffic flow) the dispatcher in these stations dont give exact idication for track sending and track receiving trains because track are named generically "Koln Sud" and "Eifeltor" in both cases. If i have a conversation with dispatcher in Erfstadt he give me two options for track Hurt-Erfstadt and track Erfstadt-Hurt. Please there something i must know to undesrtand this ?

Thanks for the reply

Auto Update

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:46:43 +0000

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble with the Auto Update feature. Simulation was purchased via download and is registered (with licence key). Running Win XP SP2.

Current version is 2.1.0.104

Opening page states Update is available but when pressed says latest version is installed.

Thanks as always,

Sperrsignale W38 W36 and 21R2

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:09:37 +0000

Succeeding my attempts to create a first scenario for KKAS (which is now published as beta,) I do have a question regarding the Sperrsignale.

Initially I created the scenario wit a defect train at track 001. Actually I wanted to rescue the train out of track 001 into direction of Brühl, but I did not see anyway to setup shunt movements on the Brühl-side.

1. It seems like you can not send a train to the open line track Brühl->Hürth as a shunt movement, and get it back in from there (supposing that there could be a Ra 10 overthere. On the other hand, the main signal F is not equiped with a Sperrsignale either. Pretty confused here.

What's the procedure for shunt movements from that location. Applying Ersatzsignal Zs 1?

2. How to set shunt routes starting at Sperrsignale W38 W36 and 21R2 (see picture, the ones inside the yellow boxes)?

There is no end RT button to set a shunt route from these signals towards the open line to/from Brühl.

Hope someone can give me clue

Thanks

Instructing driver to pass signal at Danger

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 12:52:41 +0000

I'm running this sim with faults and failures enabled for the first time, and automatic Signal 4 on the route to Koln-Sud will not clear. I have train 545 standing at Signal 4 and cannot find any way of instructing the driver to pass the signal at Danger. The driver called to advise he was standing at the red signal but the only answer option available is to tell him it will clear soon. I looked in movement orders to see if there were any options there but I can only see one that asks the driver to stop ahead of the signal, when I want him to pass it and keep going.

I've looked through the manual but haven't spotted anything to help me, any help with this would be much appreciated.

Phil.

train speed

Sun, 01 May 2011 16:02:22 +0000

Good evening all the forum

I have a question. After last update (My version is 2.2.0.6) all freight trains coming from or direct to K Eifeltor have 30 km/speed (very slow) when they are in Gleis 003 and 004 (even when they are only on gleis and not on points 32 33 and 35.

Is this low speed normal in these track

Ciao

Main Signal KKSA

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 19:52:54 +0000

I noticed that the last main signal for trains coming from H K to Koln Sud (Signal KKSA) always open only the green light at the top but the advanced signal (vorsignale) remains yellow for all trains (this means that the next signal is red). Is this a random function in the simulation and it is possible for some trains to pass with main and advanced signal all at green (i.e for most important trains as IC and ICE or EC trains) or for all trains is always green the main signal and yellow the advanced signal ?

Good evening
