graham Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Everyone, Still having a great time with Hengelo, this one has really set the benchmark high as far as sims go. One thing I would like to ask other users is what do you do with the freights bound for Almelo Yard that have no further timetabled moves or movement orders? I thought I may get a call to "lock off" the relevant section of track for the shunters to do their thing but I have never encountered this. I have taken to giving them a new number and timetable to run to in order to "keep that freight moving "
signalsoftRC Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 we're still working on the freight files... we got some information now this week and there's someone very determined to get it working asap.
EisenStern Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I have taken to giving them a new number and timetable to run to in order to "keep that freight moving " I do the same. Some of them will get a new timetable from Almelo to Bentheim, but if I am lazy enough, will couple the loko to the other end and sent that stuff to Deventer. This way I keep the yard empty as much as possible
graham Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 Thank you both for the replies, just wanted to make sure I was not doing something foolish....
1347 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Hello! How do you get from Hengelo, or the 230 track to 11-13 track?
Hobbyman Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 A direct route from Hengelo to 11-13 track is not possible. A train from Hengelo should always enter the Almelo yard, track 7, 8, 9 or 10. Only on one of these tracks you can give the movement order for free shunting to 11-13 track. In reality from track 230 via hand-switch 91 to 11-13 track is possible. However it is not available in the software.
TjoeTjoe Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 You can not go directly from Hengelo into tracks 11-13. Trains always have to arrive in the yard of Almelo (205 through 210) first, and then do some shunt movements to get access into tracks 11-13. Shunting towards 11-13 out of track 230 can only be done by means of the "Free shunting procedure" (throw the "Vrijgave rangeren 6-13" on the panel when asked to do so) Erwin P.S. : Note the remark from Hobbyman. Appearantly there is a limitation in the software for such movements.
Hobbyman Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Yes, there are limitations in the software ! The movementorder FreeShunting to 11-13 track is not available on tracks 205,206 and 230. FreeShunting to 11-13 track is only available on tracks 207 through 210. Kind regards, Leo
