Great little scenario, cheers. However…I’m fairly certain it’s a problem within TS itself, but the signalling set up approaching junctions in general is all wrong, and it really messed with my head on this scenario particularly. The correct signalling approaching the depot here would be brought to a stand (or a very low speed) at Parkway, with the platform starting signal clearing to red with associated position light signal and (possibly) miniature theatre box indicating the depot. The feather is for the diverging mainline, and even though that junction comes before the one into the depot, you cannot ever go from a main aspect (a yellow in this case) onto a position light. I don’t know how it can be modelled within a scenario, but the correct sequence is DY, SY, RED with PLS permitting you to enter depot and obey all further signals.
There would never be flashing yellows for this, and to be honest I doubt very much this junction employs flashing yellows at all as they are for high speed diverging routes anyway, from memory it requires the speed of the diverging route to be greater than 50mph. In this case its 20mph, so even to go mainline toward Hunts Cross must involve getting DY, SY, SY with feather, stepping up to green on approach to the signal.
Anyway it’s my wee rant but its more inaccuracies in the sim than it is scenarios (I think).
Hi apologies for the late response, your comment slipped past the notification box lol.
Regarding the signals, these are placed with the route not the scenario. I’ve pathed the train via the slow lines as per the timetable and then back onto the fast lines at the AN4 signal, again as per the timetable. It’s the simulators or the routes decision on what the signals will show as. The route creator (DTG in this case) will place either a 1, 2, 3 or 4 aspect signal depending on the real life signal. Scenarios just utilise the track already placed, it would be a route change if anything track or signal related was changed.
Thanks for the heads up though and thank you so much for the compliment too!
