2 Issues

In a bit of a quandry here!
Converting all station [quite a few] over to AJS Invisible ones. Mainly as these stations have flexibility. However, what I have found is trains will either, rarely, load etc..or not, mostly not! Depends on passenger consist I guess. Additionally not all trains open their doors to welcome passengers on board. This a tad frustrating, but I can live with non operating doors.

Perhaps someone here may point me in the right direction where a particular class of DEMU will not only use AJS stations correctly but also open their doors when stopping [an optional desire of mine] so to allow paying punters entry. OR tell me I am using the wrong combination of stations to achieve this and recommend an alternative.

I have noticed that BR Class 158 Arriva [DMSL] will perform correctly with tafweb's station_terminus assets. Unfortunately theses stations are limited with not many as through stations, and cannot be raised.

Naturally the AJS station range is preferred, but that class 158 simply refuses to load passengers. Maybe those passengers are aliens!!!!

Anyone got ideas on best DEMU to work with them?

Have you tried using <kuid:425700:101014> CL AJS Invisible Station 25m ?

Not all the doors on my motley collection of vintage coaches will open at station stops using Malc's modded AJS platform, but so far no passengers have been refused.

Thanks Annie,
I'll download and try them out...appreciate feedback

I have found this to be the case going back a few builds now. Let us know how you get on with KotangaGirl's suggestion.

Trains have to stopped right in the middle of the of the AJS station assets to load passengers. Some of the assets have a very small area which the middle of the train must stop on.

Thanks Marky, but navigate to or drive to rules should work even as you mention.

Here's what I discovered.....
Using Class 377/5 MSO Thameslink (Ex-FCC) 4 loaded passengers @ both CL AJS and tafweb Station_ series doors not operating.
Using BR Class 158 Arriva Trains Wales DMSL(A) 2 stopped and loaded passengers with doors operating normally.
Neither of theses two assets operated this way with andi06 AJS invisible stations.

I am no expert but maybe the AJS stations have issues with TRS22. Just my opinion not conclusive as others may not have this issue.

Conclusion....I have much to do converting stations so that passengers load etc. I have constructed Victoria's 16 platforms and Brighton's 8 platforms, amongst other stations platforms using AJS these will need to be converted to CL AJS invisible.

Bugger!!!!!

I'm in the middle of doing much the same with my own Norfolk layout so you have my sympathy.

I still use this one in TRS22<kuid2:122285:3401:22> AJS Invisible Station 1T 3.5.
It still functions okay, and I have multiple station platforms that use it.

Cheers stagecoach...
Seems like plenty to do over the next few weeks huh!

Now all AJS stations are working with 377's and 158's. Go figure! Must admit I was not looking forward to converting a s**t load of stations.

Ahhh Trainz...just keeps on keeping on!!!!

What did you actually do to get them working?

Hey paulper.....Actually nothing much....did a DBR; checked out any obsolete assets and upgraded any that I thought neccessary....thats about it.

I can only think I was using the wrong passenger assetts for AJS 'compatability'. As mentioned the ones I have chosen work fine. However, I will look at other BR models to see how they perform.

Looks like the GWR BR Class 800's diesel work, in-so-much as passengers load but doors remain closed.

Guess this thread is now resolved.

That's because the doors don't open, there is no interior.
