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.

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

Hello Bob.

Fantastic assets you built for the HY!

How do I as driver of a train do a manual Hump Yard operation with varying numbers of cars - like 1 at a time, 7 for the next location, etc?
I've tried a long string of 40 cars, but the cars stop very early in the HY.

Thanks! This is only set up to do one car at a time.
