Hello
WDP friends
Traffic delay, trying to understand why this situation occurs:
1. If I force a block busy which is indicated by a X in image tour1, all trains behind run forwards to the last free block, perfect and as expected.
2. Train RC4 start at block 2 and no blocks in forward directions are occupied, Di3 at block 1 will now wait until R4C is out of block 24. Not as expected and will delay other traffic.
What is the reason and what may be wrong in my configuration?
Kind regards
Kjell Ivar
Hi Kjell,
is the route from 1 to 24 a single, continuous route without sectional releases? Or have any conditions been defined for the route 2→24?If you could make the project available, it would be easier to provide specific assistance.

thanks for your interest Manfred
The project is included as a zip file
Open
<Journey editor>, Tours, ID8 (Station2>Station2) will show how the Journey are build.
My test also include ID22 and ID43 all controlled by the <Tour Automatic>
Hi Kjell,
sorry for overseen your project file in your first message. But anyway it would be better to have a file including the locomotives. So I can check the routes in the simulation mode. It's best to save the project for the forum by clicking on the globe icon.
Why do you use the security contact in each route? At least in the route 24>29 (ID22) it could not work because the defined contact 59 is not part of the route. Please change or delete it and try again.
And by the way the section releases in your short routes with only two contacts don't give you any benefit

Hello Manfred, and thanks for your interest for my project issue.
Secure contacts used to stop a loco if a turnout fails
There has been several issues with the double (brand new) Marklin K crossovers, and then this feature will stop the loco.
I will correct it in the journey you mentioned.
Short blocks, used to increase/ decrease speed out/in of stations tracks. Maybe there is a smarter way to do it by this great software. I m still learning even after several years, there are still a lot to learn.
Tanks for your globe icon backup tip, new file enclosed
Temperature in my Norway town just exceeded 29, train room therefore evacuated
Forgot this one
Execute test by running Fam2 in the automatic menu
3 trains will then start
Kind regards

Hi Kjell,
sorry, I have no idea what's wrong.
The only hint is the message about a crossing route

Hi
Manfred
Thanks for your support regarding this issue.
When starting more trains 10-12 this issue is very bad for the total traffic flow in my system, hopefully there are a solution somewhere.

Hi Kjell,
this is quite easy to explain. I took a look at the route departing from 001 to 022. Screenshot attached. In the route recording there has also been recorded the signal at end of block 24. And because of this route can not be switched while another route is also active with this signal involved. Please keeep in mind, that routes in WDP are locked by the solenoid device used in each of them.
Solution: Select the route in the editor, click on the camera symbol, right click on the signal in block 24 (will change to white). Save route...
Regards
Markus
Thanks a lot Markus.
Again Shit in = shit out
Great software
