South London Erroneous Signal

[Dave4468]

I was posting it in the main thread but that just got locked under me...

Irritating bug/signal placement issue I've come across, when heading towards London Bridge from Streatham Common there is a signal on the bank that is impossible to start from.

In a scenario I've built you leave Streatham Common and have 3 minutes to cover about 1/2 mile which includes a wait for a Thameslink service to cross from Tooting into Streatham as per reality. Sadly said signal it on a 1:26 bank and if you stop at it there is no way to get the train moving again (455). I suspect it might be an erroneous/misplaced signal on the basis of where it is and the fact it doesn't have a signal number unlike all the others. People who want to find and try said signal the corresponding signal on the Up Tooting is VC780.

If confirmed as an error is there any chance if bringing it up with DTG of getting a patch?

A 1 in 26 bank?. I suspect the signal is possibly in the right place, but the gradient surely is wrong?...

Not got the route yet Bob but if this is were I think it is, it is on the curve from the up slow line at Streatham Common up to the Mitcham Jn. to Tulse Hill line, just prior to Streatham station. This curve is present in BML and it is quite a steep incline, I must try a wet hill start with a pair of 33's and a 4 figure trailing tonnage from this signal .

Nothing to stop you lodging a support ticket with DG straight away if you are seeing an issue yourself, let them know. Others may already have done so/be doing so, the more the merrier.
