  1. You and me both. I simply put it down to yet another senior moment, I have lots of those, but it does cover a multitude if things. Best regards Pete
  2. Hi Sualokink I notice that the door mirrors have now been attached to the RS3 version and work perfectly when the doors open but as yet none of the doors work with the RH drive version. No doubt you have this in hand but just in case I thought it worth mentioning. Best regards Pete
  3. Hi Sualokink Well you've doner it yet again. Another superb model to add to your ever growing stable of wonderful models. A special thank you for the right hand drive version which is very much appreciated. Best regards Pete
  4. Hi Goetz I have also noticed that due to so much meddling with the Bentley I seem to have a train or two out of position. This has now been corrected. You will also no doubt have numerous large question marks for both 2 trains, their carriages and a couple of cars. If this is any issue I can supply the appropriate file to correct this anomaly. These are The Flying Scotsman, The Mallard, and 2 BMW cars. Kind regards Pete
  5. Having looked into this I can see my mistake, it should be a number and not a keyword. The sole purpose for this TC is to stop vehicles entering the level crossing if the way ahead is not clear, i.e. if the traffic light 'A' Nunthorpe Road is red. I've now made the correction. Many thanks Pete
  6. Thanks Goetz. My trouble is that I tend to get side tracked, have a great idea and then set about implementing it, not always to the best effect. Pete
  7. Thanks Herman, yep I found that too by going back over everything. Kind regards Pete Thank you very much Goetz. That was meant to be the start point for the return of the Bentley to Low Wood but I will remove it for now and rethink at a later date. I am also looking into the event TC4a-additional crossing control. Kind regards Pete
  8. Hi Goetz I do very much appreciate your offer of help. I do think I am beginning to overthink this problem. I have attached the layout along with the outward route shown. When I did a quick run through the Bentley failed to stop at the second junction as well as the traffic lights, but I only went that far before stopping. To start things off just set the speed for the Bentley to -8kph. Apologies for such an incomplete layout, it is very much a work in progress with alterations and improvements taking place all of the time. Kind regards Pete A layout inspired by York station.mbp
  9. Hi Goetz Thank you so much for your solutions. As I'm sure you have already noticed Sualokink has also offered a similar solution and my reply to him is perhaps self explanatory. It never ceases to amaze me just how complex elements of MBS are. Having set the route in 4 parts following the advice from Herman I have found that sometimes it will work OK and on other occasions the section of route set is replaced by a route set for another vehicle. I am wondering if it might be prudent to remove the Bentley Cabrio and replace it with a completely new on to see if this might solve the confusion with the other routes. Anyway, much head scratching is now the order of the day in the hope that those little grey cells will stop dancing about and all line up with the correct, final, solution. Once again many thanks for your help. Kind regards Pete
  10. Hi Sualokink Many thanks for your solution. As you have seen it follows very closely the solutions offered by Goetz and in all 3 cases the car stops on exit well before a car would actually stop under the same circumstances. This is perhaps why I have had so much trouble, I have tried to create as close to reality as possible with the car stopping right at the point where it would in real life. That said I do seem to have got round that to a point, the point at which the route is set seems critical in ensuring the car remains on the left hand side of the road on exit. Another, self inflicted problem is the space in which I am able to set start and end route points. At the moment the car pulls into the drive and heads for the garage on the right. After a short stop it then reverses out, stops before moving forward, opening the gates and then setting the exit route. It stops at the junction with the road before moving off. This now works fine but trying to set the complete route is proving a nightmare. Clearly my understanding of what is required is still not quite there. Herman pointed me in the right direction by using the "set target" element of EV and whilst I have been able to get so far with the route using this method I find that for some unexplained reason the route will suddenly simply disappear. More investigation is required. Anyway once again many thanks for your solution. Best regards Pete
  11. Hi gmd Typical of me, I know what I am trying to say but don't explain it properly for others to understand. Basically the layout that I am working on is designed with right hand drive vehicles. Setting the route for all thus far has been no problem. However I now have to set the route for a Bentley Cabrio to leave the owners property and head into town to visit a friend in her apartment. So far so good. The junction into the property is a standard single lane junction as per the initial screenshot. The issue that I had was that despite setting the route to depart through the gates, do a quick round trip (for experimental purposes only) and then return to the property. However I could not get the Bentley to follow the route set, it simply departed heading across the road and onto the opposite side as if it were a left hand drive vehicle. Since posting my question Herman has come back to me with a solution which works fine, see attached small demo layout, but in trying to apply this to my actual layout it is not working as I had hoped. In fact the Bentley seems to have a mind of it's own and will follow the set route for so long and then it simply goes it's own sweet way and the set route is lost. Other vehicles follow a similar route without issue. To try to explain the problem I have made a short demo. A) uses Herman's method and works perfectly with no rear twitch when arriving back. B) Is the initial standard junction that has given me so many headaches. C) Is my solution to the problem with B but it produces rear end twitch on return. D) Is a modification of C with much reduced rear end twitch. The solution would seem to be to follow the advice offered by Herman and to split the route into sections. My attempt at this has so far been a bit unpredictable which would suggest that I am doing something wrong. Having set the routes as A to B, B to C, C to D I find the route disappears once the Bentley enters C to D. It also ignores traffic lights set at the end of B to C. Clearly I have much more work to do in locating the source of the problem. Many thanks for your interest in this issue. Kind regards Pete Test layout single lane junction.mbp
  12. Hi to all my fellow members I wonder if anyone can give me a valid reason why the vehicle exiting onto this junction will not follow the route designated for said vehicle but simply takes the junction route to the opposite carriageway. Clearly I can solve this issue buy constructing my own junction but should this be necessary? Kind regards Pete
  13. Hi Sualokink This looks like the start of yet another great model from "The model master". Cheeky request, but that's me all over, any chance of a right hand drive version? Best regards Pete
  14. That is brilliant news and once again very many thanks for taking the trouble to produce not only the superb Bentley and it's personnel but also for the right hand drive road junctions. They really do provide greater flexibility in layout design. Best regards Pete
  15. Wow, now I really do feel like a novice. I've only briefly looked at your EV but I'm very impressed. You have certainly given me something to aspire to but it will clearly take me some time to get my head round what I need to do in order to improve my approach to these two elements. I think the phrase that springs to mind in summarising is "less hit and miss more realism and accuracy". I now do fully understand your suggestion to apply 'logic' although the degree of logic depends upon the individuals extent of knowledge. Clearly mine has a way to go yet. Pete
