Point Puzzle

[pfx]

First off, apologies for the basic diagriam here. Not at my own PC so I don't have an actual pic so it may not make any sense whatsoever.

I've created a set of junctions, added blooknok's signals and route indicators, along with HPSS point motors. Everything works with the exception of one item and it's the only time it's ever happened to me. The red and green arrows indicating point direction seem to be reversed. The signals display correctly and the train goes the correct direction. The points indicate it should be the other direction.

I've removed everything, replaced it and checked for invisible items and just can't get it to right itself. Any ideas folks?

Key Lf1 - Feather left position 1
Lf2 - Feather left position 2
fS - Feather straight

________________________Lf2____________________>
_____________________/__Lf1______x
____consist>__sig____ /___fS_______________________>

This will send the consist to the left tracks and display the corresponding feather on the signal depending on the second point setting.

________________________Lf2____________________>
_____________________/__Lf1______x
____consist>__sig____ /___fS_______________________>

Consist remains on main line and signal shows green.

Thanks.

I can only suggest that you zoom into that first point for a closer look. You may find that it is in fact a RH that turns left. OR you may have accidently layed one point over the other.

Remember that the visible track is only for your benefit, the trainz use their own invisible guides. That being said, it is possible that the two legs, fs and lf1 are crossed over where they join. if you zoom in as close as possible you might see it. Also, be sure to apply the track straightening to the track between the joining and the word sig in your diagram. Every diverging junction needs to start from a straightened piece of track. And every straightened track should only connect to a non straightened piece of track. Two non straightened tracks can also join.

I'm pretty sure I've checked all the things you mention guys but all to no avail. I'll have another look and see if there's something I've missed.

Thanks for the help. Always appreciated.
