Finding missing junction levers

Hi folks, another amateur newbie question again I'm afraid. I have downloaded a large layout (London to Penzance) which looks quite good and well detailed. However there are a couple of errors regarding missing junction levers. My question: Is there any quick way to search for junctions by number or am I going to have to keep on searching miles of track bit by bit to find the missing one? (The junction numbers don't appear to go in any particular numerical order in Trainz layouts)
Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill
 
Junctions are listed under Find Objects in the Main Menu but unless the creator of the session numbered them in sequence which is seldom done there is no obvious way of telling which are missing or not. Levers are more likely to be miss-placed than missing but those which are missing can be replaced from the Track-Add Objects Menu. Operating the route will locate the missing/miss-placed levers either because a set of point will not operate bringing a train to a stop or a train will stop for no apparent reason because a miss-placed lever is confusing the AI on what to do - where to go next. When locating missing or miss-placed lever first look for the missing lever or associated points locally before replacing/deleting the lever as one lever too many or too few will eventually cause running problems.

Thanks wilts. I didn't realise you could search for junction numbers from the main menu. That's what I needed to quickly locate the junctions listed as missing levers in driver, so that I could rectify them. Up to now I have been trawling through the map trying to find individual junctions. (doh!)
Thanks again for the info
Bill
