Turntable Issues

[BrianPacos]

My turntables are all of the sudden doing this in TS2022. Any ideas as to why? This is happening with several different ones. The turntable track doesn't seem to turn with it all of the sudden.

Can you take a screen shot in Surveyor, the track connectors may have gone goofy, there was a problem with turntables maybe around a year or so ago about something like this. In surveyor you may see what has happened

Sure but the connections don't seem to be the issue. Trains roll on/off just fine from where it's initially set, it's the turntable track itself that won't spin.

Your right, that all looks good. So what is the KUID of that turntable and what Trainz build are you using, was it recently updated? Could be an obsolete function in the script

There have been issues with transfer tables and turntables where the track becomes unattached from the asset.

That issue has been with us since T:ANE.

It's <kuid:387111:100322> TEH 115' Roundhouse Kit, Turntable. Software is Trainz 22 Platinum Edition, build 126273.

AT LEAST twice a year my prototype Yuma route turntable goes goofy FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. Have to remove all seven locos and reattach roundhouse sections to turntable. That's my first task tomorrow.

Bridges, too.

And this is why I gave up on turntables. Don

That kuid is unavailable in TRS22, it's listed as an unknown asset to me. Do you know if the asset is 3.5 or higher?

Have you ever tried without removing locomotives? I have like 7 or 8 sessions attached to the route and the turntable feeds a 10-stall roundhouse so that will be quite the pain if I have to do that...

I put all my turntables and any attachments onto a separate layer. If one goes wrong I hide all the other layers and repair it.

The last time this happened had to reattach roundhouse segments to turntable studs. Did not work this time. Had to DELETE turntable and roundhouse and reinstal the entire mess. This time used different roundhouse and noticed studs selected are different. Since old ones were left over when loading route from TANE hope these new ones stick.

I've overcome this problem here at Darlington Steam Shed by laying short unconnected sections of track over the invisible track by keeping my finger on the Shift key.

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

The track stubs are invisible when the turntable is installed although they are present. So in Driver it appears there is a gap between the turntable itself and the track that leads off. To counteract this I've laid unconnected tracks on top of the stub tracks to give the appearance that the track is complete.

would love a screenshot of that.

It's 3 posts above, in the turntable in the foreground. The tracks are just laid across the edge of the turntable so when the loco runs off it is actually on the invisible track but appears to be on the real track.
