double red switch

[Ghost42]

Having a problem with a double-red switch.
Deleted and re-applied the track at the junction to no effect.
It is a yellow spline joint, vertex height adjusted I believe, is this a clue?

Hi Rog,

What you are seeing is correct if you've adjusted the track height or leveled out the spline point with the adjustment tool.

Try moving the lever a bit closer to the junction, or it maybe sitting on a spline joint that's not connected to a junction. I've had levers, speed signs, and other trackside objects move around if I've added in a spline point.

I suspect it is the latter, I'll try putting in a short piece of track to move the junction away from it.
I was initially trying to work out how an approaching train managed to switch the junction ahead of me whilst I was on a single track causing a blockage. Thought I would alter the triple junction behind me.

It could also be that you have two levers on that junction somewhere.

Ok, double red sorted but the junction did not need altering it as was not part of the problem.

Entering a single track on green then finding the junction in front has been locked against me by an oncoming AI is the problem.
If I send the train through under AI control all is ok.
After much research it appears there is no answer to this.

You could try using the Path Rule / Path Command (plus Path Library) to set the path and give you a clear run through the single track section - see: http://www.mutton.de/trainz/pathrule/

The required files can be found on the DLS.

Thanks for that, will give it a go.
