Atomic Systems

A few days ago now I was playing the Lost in a Shuffle scenario, and seemed to get a bit stuck.

I picked up all the wagons etc from the sidings and then started to proceed out of the sidings onto the main line (where there is a station close by, sorry i forget the name of the station inparticular). When coming out of the siding the signals are set to red and I cannont seem to proceed onto the main line.

Am i doing something wrong here please?

Thanks

You have to go to the 2D map and change a point on the main line to get out of Didcot. A bit alarming really.

I have run this scenario today. Before leaving Didcot I did set all the point out to the main line via the 2D-map.

Anyhow I did get a red signal at the last point. "Tab" request to pass the signal was refused. I did check the line via the 2D-map, ane there was a train coming from Choisey. I had to wait about 5 minutes until it had passed.

Still I did not get a green, and "Tab" was still refused. I did check the map again, and another train was approaching from Choisey. Once more a wait of 5 minutes. When this last train did pass, then I did get a green and could go on and finish the scenario.

I can't seem to even get out of the first siding (the one where the loco is standing at the very start) on this scenario, stuck on a red forever.... Is this signal suppposed to be tab'able, because I've been hitting the tab key probably 10 times without hearing squat...

This is an old one. You do have to change the points after Didcot Gate 1 to get onto the mainline. You shouldn't be hanging about more than about 15 minutes before you head for the gate.

To USRailFan - I didn't think there were any signals in that siding to prevent you getting out 2 junctions, then you can reverse back to the right of where you started, to get to your trucks.
