Hi Bill,

Is this a session you edited?

If so you may have performed the route editing in the session.

That is puzzling. There is a fix somewhere for that, but I can't think of it. I must be getting old and my brain is too full of junk to hold on to somethings that are more useful now. Maybe someone will happen along that will remember what it is.

Hi all. I read something about this recently too and the explanation as I recall was something to do with the angle of the dangle. It was being suggested that the turnout angles were too tight and this was in response to someone asking why by wiggling the switch a bit or r/click would make it come back to life. Cannot add more than that but I had similar problems so I was interested in the "fix". Just remembered that there was something about switches being next to each other and overlapping the "radar".

Do us all a favour and open the session in Surveyor. Select the "Tracks" tab (F4 function key) and then "Trackside mode" (Y key) then click the "properties" button ( the question mark (?)).

Now click on one of the switch levers that is giving trouble, and look at the layer name (top right-hand side of the properties window). If it is showing as being on a session layer then that is the cause of the issue.

What you do about it is up to you, but the levers should be on a route layer to avoid problems with resuming a saved game.

what actually happened was i locked the session and route rules
and it has worked
all switches are red and green
i have never had to do this in any trainz game
this has not occured anywhere in tr 2012
i can only assume i tripped a switch somewhere
thanks all
