Cresston WIP act

[pendolinobasher]

Does anyone know how to fix above error please as im exhausted of ideas i thought a go to marker from Old Oak Common might of helped to no such luck and there really isn't much point putting anymore stock in until i have fixed this error

Clearly one of the trains is looking for a track marker which doesn't exist. You need to point it at one that does.

Good news i have deleted, moved and set up my player train and it works all markers are fine the only problem i got now is that the 08 shunter doesn't pick up the HST powercar its just goes back to the depot L/E and when i arrive at Paddington the power car is blocking what i need to couple up to.


Im torn between wether or not to dispose of the 08 shunter and have the powercar run back to the depot L/E

AI trains can't couple yet. At all.

It's going to be a new feature in RW3.

Hmmmmm i got 2 choices then i can either run the powercar back to the depot L/E or i can put the act on hold till RW3 comes out in September.

Im torn between the 2 options.

Another option, a bit of a hack really as there were only a few of them made, would be to substitute a buffered HST power car. Since those have standard couplings, you can attach the 08 to it in the editor. Better IMHO than having a "dead" power car trundling about on it's own.

Another prototype note is that HST power cars were only supposed to operate in pairs, even for light-engine moves (where, due to reduced brake force per weight, they were restricted to 75mph). It's entirely likely that coupling a fresh power car to the train would require shunter assistance as well.

Im not bumping this im just giving a quick update.

Many weeks have passed since i announced this act and whats been happening is that i have been starting a new act not finishing it and then starting a new one, well i have shelved all new ideas until i finish my current batch or i will overflowing with to many unfinished acts.

So far i have finished:
1 act for the Oban Line
1 act for the Bath-Templecombe line
and i just got to run my train a little futher and then the Cresston line act will be finished, the Paddington-Oxford act has been shelved until the release of RW 3 and i have another Oban Line act in the works all the stock has been layed i just got to test run it to see if it works.


Anyway thanks for reading and i will be uploading to UKTS shortly.

(With the release of a upload recently uploaded i have another idea for Newcastle-York modern )
