DMT Invisible Station 50m

[sologuitarist61]

My apologies if this has been asked before.

I am using the above stations on my UK Branch Line single tracks because the behaviour of the trains entering them is very good, nice speed, correct stopping position etc.

The only problem is that no matter what side of the train the platform is placed, the doors of the carriages also open on the other side - away from the platform. The loco being used is a BR Class 150, but the loco type doesn't seem to be a factor as all do it.

Has anyone else found this happening and if if so, is there a solution to correct this behaviour?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

@Richard

Are you saying that the doors open simultaneously on both sides of the carriage?

The doors are only supposed to open on the side of the invisible station where the coloured mask shows in Surveyor. Basically, the way the station works is that a message is broadcast by the station script which is picked up by any passenger enabled coaches in the active zone of the station. It is the script in the coach which activates the doors when it receives the message from the station. If the doors are not working correctly, then it is the coach script and not the station script.

Depending upon who's class 150 you are using, I have found that the driving coach at the rear when reversed sometimes gives a problem with the doors. To correct this problem I made a coach with the mesh reversed for the trailing rear unit.

Thank you for your reply - sorry been away so unable to answer.

No matter which side the station is located, (people on platforms etc) the loco's open their doors only on the other side, not on the platform side. Have tried it with another Loco set (Cross Country Voyager) and that works fine so I would guess the problem doesn't lay with the station, but with the 150's.

G'day Richard,

This sounds to me like incorrect naming of the doors of the Class 150. If you open it for edit in Explorer and swap the names for the entries in the mesh-table for the door_left and door_right entries the correct doors should open.

If you're unsure of what to modify, then you can post the mesh-table here and I can advise further.

Hope that helps!

Kieran.
