Worksop Rambler for LBE problem

For some reason a derail occurs during this activity just as one passes very slowly through Gatwick.
There is a lot of traffic nearby at this time, so it's a little difficult to figure out what's causing the problem.
After 30 or so MB of stock downloading (!) for this activity, it would be nice to get a chance to finish it.
Has anyone else had this derail problem, or is it just me ?

The problem may be the Class 165 that is pulling out of Gatwick, if you are using the old version of the Class 165 and have not installed the bounding box fix.

If you have downloaded the new version of the Class 165 UKTS ID 7322 then this shouldn't be the problem.

You can use Ctrl and + to show you the bounding box of any stock that may help to locate the problem.

I tested this activity numerous times and only experienced this problem with the old Class 165

OK, thanks, I'll check.

Can anyone help me? I've run this activity all the way to Preston Park but appear to be stuck in a jam trying to get into Brighton. I've waited and waited for 20 minutes but still I'm held by a red signal. I can see an EMU in front of me (the one I've followed from Haywards Heath) but this appears to be stuck too. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

After the crawl behind the emu you should be able to run into Brighton, not heard of any other problems in the year since its been uploaded.

What time did you arrive at Preston Park?

I'll try and dig out some old saves.

It was about 12:35 when I arrived at Preston Park. I'll start again and see what happens.

I've just run this activity again and completed it without any problems, apart from TS crashing before I was returned to the menu. Anyway, the difference this time was at Hayward's Heath. Previously I was held whilst 2 trains passed, but this time I was allowed to follow the EMU that was leaving the adjacent platform as I arrived. It was still a crawl to Brighton, but the punters should have enough time to get some fish & chips before the return is due out.

Thanks for a very enjoyable activity.

Glad you enjoyed it, I must get around to finishing the prequel, almost 3 hours of Class 56 thrash down Mid-East
