No, it isn't. Track connections do not show black dots (green dots in Trackviewer). It is clear from the position of these dots that the two crossover entries in the .tdb are not in the same location, therefor the signalling can not process it as a proper crossover.

I re-phrase that. The 'extra' black dot is where a1tPnt10d150rLftSlipMnl and a1tPnt10d150rRgtSlipMnl join together in R.E. There are invalid crossovers( from where the route was built from nearly 15 years ago), but not at this location.

Here is the single slip in R.E. Is there anything amiss here? :-

The Black dot is where the 'extra' black node is placed:-

There is another slip I placed elsewhere, but this was a double slip, and this uses a1tPnt5dSlpRgt and a1tPnt5dSlpLft with A1Xover10d5M with one black node in the middle and four black nodes on the outer ends.

There is one way to check it out : run the player train upto the slip, then check the Dispatcher Hud if a "+" is displayed (if you approach the slip from a switch end, the string should be "-<-+-", if from a non-switch end it should look like "-+-<-"). If you see no "+", the crossover is not placed properly.

I will definitely try this Rob!

In the View TSRE5 Options select TrackDB item


Thanks for that detail reply m61, but unfortunately, I do not use TSRE5 atm! However, after seeing the track viewer search box did refresh my memory to try and fix the other crossovers.

Thanks

I don't believe it. After dozens of re-laying and TDB errors( thank god for backups). This is the final result:-

It works!!! I now have signal protection at the crossover part of the slip.

Thanks all
