AndiS, I have read you comments and I will endeavour to get you get you up to speed on the track and signal layout. I forget that I have spent quite a bit of time working at Crewe and expect you to understand what is happening from a few pictures. Tall Order. Basford Hall Yard at Crewe was started in 1901 and finished in 1910. In the 1930s which is the period of this route was the biggest yard in Europe. Crewe had a 1000 trains a day passing through. 30 to 60 thousand wagons a week. I am sailing for a few days and run out of time so will get you the details then. Thanks Ausc Statistics: Pos ..read more

AndiS, There seem to be a communication mismatch. The crux of the problem is finding a solution for Arm Doll Route information transferring from the signals ahead to allow the correct arms to clear. This problem has existed for a long time and I have asked on multiple occasions for help to resolve the issue. The Basford Hall Jct signals is another example of the issue where I would like to review the method to ensure or resolve the issue. The other issue is the signal distant arm codes. I have always had issues using them with signals. I have tested you original example routes and these ha ..read more

First of all, let me assure you that I am not miffed at all. I am just confused, quite often. It takes quite some energy to find out what you are talking about. In this case, I have not idea what the second picture with the wrapper would to in the setup. I believe it is for the opposite direction. I found two signal diagrams on the net, from SRS, but very tiny as always. https://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/lmsr/M756.gif shows Basford Hall Junction with semaphores. In the middle at the right-hand side, we see two signals that match your description. So Crewe Basford Hall Jct Home is shown in your ..read more

Back to your signal script and Arm routes In a single arm signal you have one arm but could have multiple route. The Arm would be "one home arm" and points ARM_5f0_Hm1.bin The arm can clear far all arm numbers and routes. Looking at the signal in advance LNW_Eq_HDm_HbHb_7T We have route 1 with the start arm and the distant signal for the signal in advance. The start arm is for Crewe Sorting Siding box and the Distant is the second arm for Basford Hall Jct. Route 2 is the slow line and has a start arm for Crewe Sorting Siding box but no distant arm. Route 3 is a siding arm for access in to ..read more

Andis you seem miffed and if I have put you offside I do Apologize as it was never my intent. Your right about the code some time you can see the wood for the tree. I put the code into the signal ahead and tested with no change. Next I buried link 1 and setup with link 2 as the primary link for receiving the info from the signal ahead. Signal 2 now clears and signal 1 will not clear. Next was buried link 1 & 2 and set link 4 as the primary link. Now only arm 3 clears for all routes. Rebuilt the first diamond to eliminate any track issues set the signal ahead with arm numbers 1 & 2 ..read more

My only idea at the moment this: You cannot have a > in the route character. It only works in the configuration string. At least the back page of the manual says so. (Personally, I do not remember ever using > in a route character in the properties table, but I do not remember a lot.) Statistics: Posted by AndiS — Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:46 pm ..read more

AndiS this is a recurring problem getting the route to or doll information to forward. The signal is at Crewe Basford Hall Jct and Crewe Sorting Siding South. The signal ahead is a Splitting home distant signal with call on arm 2 The following signal has a Home Distant arm for route 1, a single arm for route 2 with a smaller arm under for route 3. Crewe Sort Sth 01.jpg The signal has 7 links and link 1 is used to capture the info for route 1 & 2 ahead. Link 3 is for a right diverging route and used Link 3. The rest are inner links. Crewe Sort Sth 02.jpg The wrapper is the closing signa ..read more

I do not have TSC installed, so I cannot check anything. But I can rule out that it has anything to do with DirectX. But then again, some of the things you say sound like it never worked. I do not remember codes set in the signal ahead that should influence a stand-alone distant. This sounds a bit mysterious to me. Statistics: Posted by AndiS — Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:51 pm ..read more
