Scenarios for WCML London & Midlands

[Carinthia]

... just before Proof House Junction, signal BM787 showed green although the points were switched against me a little way ahead. I recommend stopping here to check the route into New Street Platform 4b. I saw two trains pass eastbound out of New Street on 'my' line to 4b before the points switched in my favour. Thereafter, the only problem was an AI collision just as I slowed to a halt in Platform 4b. Gnash!

Does anyone know how to fix this (presumably by eliminating an AI train)?

The true solution has surely to be to fix the signalling as this would ensure this never occurred in any scenario. It is probably only a misplaced signal tag but I can't check this out myself as I don't have all the routes need by this one.

Bear in mind that signalling fixes will further modify the tracks.bin file so should be made after the modified file is installed.

I have been trying to create a scenario for this route using a london midland 350. Ive downloaded the update for automatic points so thats made things slightly easier. The biggest problem i am coming across is a blockage in the london bound fast tunnel about 2 minutes from euston. There is nothing pysically blocking the tunnel and nothing i have done has solved this. Ive also come across the same problem a little further up the line on the watford dc line. Anyone else found this problem? Scenario editor just shows the red exclamation mark and says unable to pass blockage. No problems with locking up however.

Cheers

Try a free roam along the sections of track where the block is.
The track might not be connected correctly or the track direction might be wrong for part of it.

Just tested using a free rome. Strangely enough i can drive through the tunnel in both directions on the affected piece of track with no issues. But still get the same error when trying to create a scenario.

There's an un-numbered signal on the up fast just north of Kensal Green Tunnels (next to wj175 I think it was on the down fast)
Cant be tabbed through but yes if you spad there's no problem driving onwards into Euston.

Well I managed to tag the un-named signal with wj 2500 (to avoid any possible duplication) and starting at Wembley I'm cleared to drive right through into Euston using the various Up Fast line waypoint markers through Camden Bank Line D and stop at platform 13.
Unfortunately despite that seeming to work ok if I then try to add an instruction to use 13 (or any other any Euston platform) as a destination point for my trial scenario I'm faced with the 'unable to clear blockage' message again.
Needs someone with a proper working knowledge of the editor to sort it out, I can barely create a scenario

Just to confirm there's a track problem with the Up Fast Primary actually inside Primrose Hill Tunnel. Took me ages to delete and replace only the Up Fast track through the tunnel as Id never done anything harder than place a speedboard before.
I watched a few very helpful tutorials on youtube by someone calling themselves SpatialKatana regarding using the editor and eventually had success altering a cloned copy of WCMLLM. I can now set up instructions to start a scenario at Wembley and drive through all the way without deviation on the up fast terminating at Euston and completing the scenario correctly.
If photons66 is reading would you have a look at Primrose Hill Tunnel whilst you've taken the route down as I'm sure this error is the main reason there's been no scenarios forthcoming for the route.
