Platform Marker

Post by jetstream »

I've just added platform markers (successfully) along several platforms, all of which have numerous track sections adjacent to each platform.

However, there is one platform where one of the end markers obstinately refuses to extend to the full length of the platform and comes to a halt at a track section join ( a far as I can see, the track sections either side of the join are identical - same type, track rule, speed etc and no red boxes).

Any ideas or solutions as to why the marker won't move into this section of track?

Thanks

Sometimes they are just sticky - you have to use a bit of force. The other thing you could try is to put the marker the other side of the joint and push it the other way.

One strange thing i've noticed is if you have 2 markers touching (for example if you have a destination marker at the end of platform to make freight trains stop at the end of the platform), you won't be able to move the marker at the FAR end from the touching point. If you separate the markers slightly, you can then move both ends.

Problem solved using virtual pick and shovel; dug up the track and relayed. Still no idea why the track didn't like the marker.
