Activity 09 Penrhyn Trip Part 1. I dropped off the last 3 wagons on the main line at Minfford Station and after great difficulty with the tight curves etc I've managed to drop off 32768-2 in Minfford Siding 4. Picked up 32797-0 & 1 and 32828-0 from Siding 2 / goods shed pulled forward on to the main line to back on to the 3 wagons that were originally dropped, no matter how slow I go as soon as I'm any where near the points for the sidings I get "Activity over derailment" !!! And I've no idea which wagon derails either! Can anyone help please

Have you applied the handbrakes on the wagons that you've dropped off? It could easily be one of the "parked" wagons that have rolled off the end of a siding. Is your derailment setting in the options on or off?

I'm afraid that I can't offer any more help than that, other than to say that you are the first person to report this problem, so there must be a simple explanation. The trackwork at Minffordd is a nightmare due to the limitations of the default track pieces, but I wanted to make the layout as accurate as possible.

I have the derailrailment option set to off. I think you could be right with the brakes, I think I set the brakes to on for the wagon I left in siding 4 but I seem to remember that the first time I tried the activity (forgot to save it so started again) the wagon followed the engine etc out of the siding!!! so I'll go back to the save before last and check.

Thanks

Problem solved. Problem was of my own making, I put wagon 32768-2 in siding 3 and not siding 4 and it was running to the points (even though the brakes were on) and derailing!!! I just wish I could remember to save and not get carried away when I succeed in doing one task!!
