Part of route from W191 stays in

Sun, 01 Mar 2015 07:31:19 +0000

If I have a train signalled from Platform 5 towards Oberbarmen the section of route from W191 occasionally stays in.

This occurs if I set a route from W97 before the first train has passed W191.

The only way I can then find to get the route to drop is to re-set the full route and then cancel it.

While I appreciate I can avoid this situation by waiting to set the second route I don't think the Interlocking is working correctly.

Over-setting route into Steinbeck Line 44

If track 44 is occupied you can over-set a route from Wuppertal HBF.

What I find odd is that the Wuppertal HBF signal (e.g. S4) does not clear when track 44 clears only when track 63 clears and Signal S44 clears.

However, if I wait for track 44 to clear before setting the route then the Wuppertal HBF Signal (e.g. S4) will clear, even if track 63 is occupied and Signal S44 at Danger.

Interested to know if there is an issue or am I missing something subtle.

Moving into the Gbf from Hbf

Sun, 20 Oct 2013 23:59:22 +0000

There are a number of freight trains that come out of Wuppertal Hbf to Steinbeck Gbf. The route setting guide on the Wiki says:

Hbf ➜ Gbf If you want to go directly from the main station into the Gbf, the train route always ends at the high-positioned shunt signals (Ls) 48 or 49. From there it goes further as a shunt movement.

There is no problem setting train routes from the Hbf to 48 or 49. But then when I try and set a shunt movement from 48 or 49 into a goods track, like 66, I get the error "Cannot set route - start signal is already in use". I've found I need to set shunt routes all the way from Hbf to Gbf, or instruct the engineer stopped at 48 or 49 to pass stop signal. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have the latest update.
