Junctions/Stations

Post by narusegawa »

The train pulling out of the station (it turned around, it's meant to be going to Sheffield). By my workings out it should've waited until the station was clear before entering the junction box.

Any idea's or suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks

Hmm... Ever try making it a normal station?

You could try a RoRo Station.

Resion for the LRV's is to make a good alternative to buses. Visit Here for more info.

To the left is Stafford, and through the tunnel is Truro Woods.

Just up from Luton is Harwich and Derby, which links back at the other end of the tunnel. i.e. the Tunnel is the express route.

Some trains stop there, between Sheffield and Luton. And an express one stops there too on it's way through the tunnel. Other express ones don't stop there and just skip it. If I made it a normal station I can foresee a traffic jam.

A RoRo might be a good idea, but I need to loop it back around so that a train can go in either direction on the mainline.

But I'm still confused as to why the train entered the junction when according to my pre-signal knowledge it shouldn't have.

How about a 4 line station with the 2 outher ones as the station and the 2 in the middle as go trough things?

I'm trying to make an ascii example of what you mean but without success.

The Claw

That's the example I've based most of my stations on.

Would the HXY be a better choice for this station?

Apologies fror bombarding the forum with my innane questions. I'm still a beginner when it comes to complex layouts (i.e. making a network)


P.S. I could upload the savegame and someone could show me how to get the passenger network route I've got done better. :-D

Code: Select all

  ||
 /||\
[]||[]
[]||[]
[]||[]

[] = Station
|| = track

This is a station i sometimes use, on long distance tracks, with Highspeedtrains on it with locals.

And each platform only accepts trains in one direction. That is actually a great idea for a piece of section where I'm going in a straight line. :-D Cool.


Do you have any dual track terminus stations with trains able to go either direction? i.e. like what I tried to make at sheffield.

Thanks ever so much for all this help. ascii or screenie will do (as your building ingame).

I'll upload my game later at home and let people see the mess I tried to create :-D

I remember making complex ones in TTD but I think the pathing and pre-signals must be different in Locomotion.

Well, what about this? (About that red light part with the blocksection, your train will stop at the presignal, then all the other trains who have a green light can use it, otherwise you will get a traficjam. As you can see you have multiple pre-signals in this T crossing :)

I was going to say that it doesn't allow a train to go back the same way it came in. Then realized I was ignoring the extra bit lol

There's a Ro-Ro Station that will fit your needs.

Ofcorse you can add more tracks but yeah this is the best I can show it without starting up Locomotion.

Here

Red = Keep

Green = Add

Also green is the way to come in and red is the way to go out. (If the signals are in the direction I think they are.

Hate to be a pain IA but I can't clearly see which way those signals are directing.

I have the BR 4.0 set with 4.1 and high quality update. And also his regions. It might be that actually. As I have "Real English" town enabled in my custom scenario.
