Tutorial: How to use my SAP Hump Yard Kit for TRS19 or later

[DaveL]

Hi Paul,
Well, something IS fishy. (Iam not suggesting it is your fault....Grin)
I have the decoupler set to 1.48 and at 5mph, 3 cars went over it without uncoupling.

STOP THE PRESSES !!!!!
FLASH
DAVE IS A DUNCE !!!!!

Decoupler works IF you point it the correct direction.......DUH

Now to adjust the junctions......

Thanks Paul!!!

For you hump yard fans I just recently released on the DLS the following items:

<kuid2:439337:117981:1> SAP_Point_Motor_Left_1_PBR
<kuid:439337:117992> SAP_Point_Motor_Right_1_PBR

These should work well in Hump Yard situations, along with my other components. Here is a screenshot of what one of them looks like:

For some odd reason the Decouplers and the Retarders don't seem to work at all. I did it all by the books. It just doesn't want to decouple nor stop at the end of the tracks.

I ran a test in my TRS22 (build 128486) of both the decoupler and the retarder and everything appears to be working fine. My boxcar was decoupled and propelled to the speed I set and the retarder slowed the boxcar down to the speed I set. My locomotive speed was 3MPH when it approached the decoupler.

Questions: Did you set the trigger distance for each component to what I recommended (ie; 1.5 meters) in the tutorial?

No it did not. Ill keep trying to test it out.

My Trainz 22 PE build is 128487. I forgot to add mine. My fault.

My Trainz 22 PE build is 128487. I forgot to add mine. My fault.

BTW I updated to Trainz Plus build 131950 today and ran the test again just to be sure, and everything worked as it should.
