057114 Lu

[littlepe]

Hi. I am trying to get this Lu train to go to EDHA but cannot. I have offered by phone and it is accepted. The train arrives at signal 036, just before the branch towards track 051. I try to set the route but it will not. The train number does not appear in the 051 branch box even though it was accepted by phone. I noticed in the Wiki notes ref. Lu trains the phrase - 'must be offered by telephone (in addition to ZNP 801?)' - i thought i had found the answer - but cannot use the ZNP 801 as there is no code for EDHA. Any advice please? Regards.

1. Offering to EDHA can only be done by telephone, as there is no offering field for that direction for ZNP801. So you did the right thing here.

Please note 051 will only show a train number when a train is on that track or just entering that section.
In other words: nothing will be shown there as result of offering trains. The last is really a ZNP thing, and only in the "Axxx" fields

2. The dispatcher EDHA accepted your train right? Did he set the direction towards him? He should do, otherwise we have a bug.

3. Did you apply the FfrT button when setting the route from 036 -> 051. Track 051 does not have OHLE, so you need to press the FfrT group button when you start setting the route.
See : SignalWiki - Set Route To Track Without OLE Button

I noticed that this nowhere mentionned in the EMAF Wiki. Read: no mention of track 051 being non-electrified. Will add that information

Hi. Once again, thanks Erwin, FfrT cured the problem. I should have guessed that, as i was tripped up with the same problem at Bonn - although in my own defence, as you say, the non-OHLE was not mentioned. Stored in the memory bank and something that I will try in the future if i get stuck. Enjoying sim, thanks again - regards.

Sorry Erwin - another question. Trains for EBTN - must be offered by phone. Which button on the phone is used?

Where did you read this information

Sorry, was an error on the Wiki page.

In the Beta phase it used to work that way, but it had been changed shortly after the official release.

Page updated, phone not needed.

I think the line to EKKR must also be non-OHLE as the only way i could set a route was to use FfrT.
