Freight in Almelo Yard


Recommended Posts

Posted

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 :) "

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.

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 ;)

Thank you both for the replies, just wanted to make sure I was not doing something foolish....

Hello!

How do you get from Hengelo, or the 230 track to 11-13 track?

Posted

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.

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.

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
