the shap rescue scenario having run round the train, i cannot get the signal to clear having followed all instructions also in delayed and rerouted there is a double unload instruction at lancaster that stops you going any further also whats the best way to post said pics i keep getting image to large messages
This scenario finished for me with a SPAD as I moved towards the broken down train.. I never even saw the little red light.. I was just following the instructions…. A bit annoying to say the least
I'm not sure if it will work but could you try to "lock doors" then depart or if against a red, crawl forward a few feet? I've had it before (on other routes) where if I start to move it triggers the next instruction, granted they didn't involve doors/passengers so not entirely sure if it will work for you.
you can continue up to carnforth but it wont trigger any further instructions, the first load instruction has a time on it the second has nothing. i've tried opening and closing the doors but no avail. the winter preston Ormskirk scenario on BPO has a similar issue with the loading instruction.

it worked, its a bit tight if you stop on the marker as you need a signal call after you hit the regulator which being light loco puts the power on quick. i did reverse back for a few meters then went.
Did a run to Carlisle in a Class 95 ( I think) older diesel and the unit wheels all had a Catherine wheel effect, similar to that experienced on the GWR route with the Western Diesel engine. Th coach wheels were fine. Doesn’t affect the running of the game but obviously not correct. DTG Alex
Service 1S53. PS5. Service started ok, slowed down by yellow signals so was running at reduced speed. Train lost power 15 miles from first station. Bought train to a halt.. no power (power lights on dashboard off) Dropped panto.. wouldn’t raise again. Turned everything off.. turned it all on again.. and again, and again. Swapped cabs and back again. Mucked about with switches, checked engine room, panto went up.. but still no power. Gave up.
Just looked up the service. Unless you raised the amps too much, you've likely gone through a neutral section.
I’ve SS the map.. thx for that… quite possibly I missed a neutral section .. I did the run again and think I caught them all but on a couple o did have to press the ‘panto up/reset’ button before I got power again. I was watching the lights on the panel to see them switching but they were staying off. Having looked at the diagram I’m wondering if I put the handle in OFF before the run down had completed and whether that caused the power not to come back on…? The needles were all at zero by the time I entered the neutral area and the power handle was in the off position. I’ll have to do it again to see, I suppose Thx again for taking the time to put tht up.
That shouldn't matter. However the handle must be put to OFF and the tap changer must have finished running down before you can take power again.
It's Michael who needs the thanks. It was shared a while back and I downloaded a copy as it's so useful. I hope he does another one for the upcoming Preston-Crewe route.
