Junction: wrong direction!

[psilva]

I am making my 1st route and after several lines I found that one of the several junctions I have is behaving wrong, i.e. the train follows the red direction instead of the green one!

I have already destroyed the line but everytime I rebuild it the junction remains "inverted"! All other junctions work fine.

Any help on how to fix this?

Thanks

The most common cause of this problem could be called "cross-over" where the track looks to be correctly laid but in fact the diverging tracks are actually crossing over each other close to the junction. It is not a junction problem but a track laying problem. It usually (but not exclusively) occurs on junctions located on bends.

The solution is to delete the track sections between the junction point and the first spline points on each of the diverging branches. Then carefully relay the track making sure that the two sections do not cross over each other.

This is a trap a lot fall into, I bet your junction is on a bend. This is simple to cure but first you will find the lever is correct, Zoom in as close as you can to the junction and look very closely at the way the track is going. You will find that the inner track goes across the outer one by a very small amount and then joins from the other side.
Answer is put a spline point just before the diverge and us the straighten tool on that bit or if the curve is shallow enough move the spline point on inner track.

The problem was that, but even zooming to the limit I couldn't see it!
I just moved away the junction point to force a greater "diverging" and the problem went away.

Thanks to all of you for the help.
