RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 28, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2011 No route selected - s105 red and s106 yellow - flagman black You haven't set s106 to red to start, double click it to open the properties dialog and the click the "test" signal in the connection tab Try and that and then retest, if it's not working please post again your tests and the results. cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 1, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2011 I intend to move forward again tonight, is everybody happy with flagmen ? - they will be used more and more as they are powerful little beasties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted February 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Beast, yep ready and raring to go. If you could just explain it in the simplest terms for us novices to get our heads round cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 1, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2011 yep ready and raring to go. If you could just explain it in the simplest terms for us novices to get our heads round From now on I will continue, try my best to explain whatever I've covered/am covering and pause for a few days, if no-one asks questions I will assume everyone is happy, so if anyone has any questions then please ask, otherwise I will move on.

Audley Road Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes happy with flagmen so far, although I'm sure there's plenty for us to get confused with to come... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 3, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2011 This is another simple step which has massive implications for panels. I'm going to introduce interlocking and the like, this will be simplified, the Widnes panel has virtually every rule possible implemented, but this a tutorial about using RR and not prototype signalling (well not in too much depth) When a route is set on the prototype all sorts of things happen - one of which is a thing called flank protection, basically changing points, not in the route, to provide protection (or as much as possible) for the train. Set the route from 107 signal to 903, this will reverse points 501/502/503 and 504, cancel the route again, these are left set. If we then set the route from 105, part of the crossover remains set (I have assumed all points are independent for the purpose of this discussion, yes crossovers would probably 9but not always) be worked as a pair, but doing it this way demonstrates the principle quite easily) So what's the solution ? We add an operation to the route from 105 to 903 - select turnout, choose the correct turnout and add it to the operations, before the clearing of the signal, once again remove the lock (this prevents other elements from changing it, which is fine sometimes, but can cause problems so I always remove it) and ensure you set the point to straight through (double click it in the right hand pane) Try it !

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 4, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2011 Set the route and click on point 502 ... We can manually reset the point to cause a potential collision ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audley Road Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 OK I'll admit defeat. I tried all sorts of ways to stop it being set manually but none of them worked! I have set up my routes from every signal including the GPL and Subs, and flagmen to change the aspect of signal 501 for main line and loop routes so some of the tutorial has sunk in!

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 9, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Paul, the incorrect stepping up of signal 106 is correct ! - at the moment, I will be locking that out soon I will be covering point locking very soon.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 20, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'll return to this after the Ally Pally show, I've had to change the lockings for Widnes and I need to do more testing before the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 22, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2011 Awesome. Notebook and pen ready for the next lesson! Looking for forward to Ally Pally next weekend - hopefully will be able to get down on the Sunday to see Widnes again.

N Gauge David Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi there I'm also new to this forum, and will in the next while work through the examples given. I'm really interested in seeing how you can customise how the signals look on screen - do you need Gold for this - and also the operation of a four aspect signal with a route feather. As I see no posts have been added since March, has this tutorial stopped or gone elsewhere? Thanks David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see no posts have been added since March, has this tutorial stopped or gone elsewhere? Thanks David Hi David, I had a major health scare in February, I then moved job and house over the following few months and between chasing trains at weekends and my new extended family life I don;t get as much time as I used to. I will try and finish this to a logical point at some stage over the coming months but I will answer any questions you may have (if I can!) You are correct, the Gold version is the only one which allows customisation of the images, and to me is one of the "GRRR" parts of RR Our feathers are controlled by being treated as a normal signal, for example - for one feather you can use a simple red/green and use a flagman to determine when the feather should light. As I am OTT about it being correct on Widnes the feathers light first, then there is a 1 second pause for it to be "proved" and then the main aspect lights - just like the prototype (the delay varies, very quick on relay controlled lockings, slower on IECC). We don't have 4-aspects but I would use a second head for the extra yellow, and again use flagmen to determine when it's lit. Ask away if I can help more, hth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Gauge David Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow - that sounds like a top 3 list of major stress life events! I trust you are feeling back to normal after your health scare? What you have said there is enough for me to get going with ordering some signals and trying out the Bronze version of RR&Co. Thanks for your offer of help - but I am not in a rush, so don't be surprised if you don't hear from me between now and Christmas. hth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
two tone green Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hi David N, I would suggest that the minimum level of RR&Co you use is Silver. You will fast run out of options with Bronze and regret not having gone for a higher level to start with. Do have a play and I think you will find Bronze too basic for your needs. Sorry to jump in Dave but I thought it important to highlight this. TTG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
