Stations (again!!)

Post by Instinct »

Hello.

Ive been playing lomo for a few weeks now and i realy enjoy it. however there is one problem i keep having.

Every time i try to build a normal station (normaly more than two platforms) the trains occasionaly go to occupied platforms and ending up getting stuck between the platform and the one way signals. (i have a good screen shot of this happening but i cant find where screen shots are sent!! one thing after a bloomin' nother. :lol: )

Anyways I hope you can guide me with your wise experiance.

(and i did try to find the answers out on my own but came up empty, some very nice tutorials out there.)

thanks :bow:

The screenshots are saved in your Locomotion folder. If you are using Vista with UAC (if you don't know what it is then its turned on) turned on you will need to click on "compatibility files" just about the main view of the opened window.

You'd be best uploading your screenshot to the forum rather than using imageshack, I'm on an 8meg connection and takes far too long to load.

The tracks cross eachother in a stupid way. That is what confuses the trains. Make a more simple trackcrossing.

The second screen shot hasn't been tested out yet. Is there is a way to improve the trackplan of the first screen shot then? Thanks :)

Try a two way signal before the station throat instead of a one way.
