Norman, SigScribe4 does not handle the insertion of levers well once routes have been defined. You may need to use the "Interlocking > Clear all route definitions" function and then redefine your routes. The limit on number of levers as far as SigScribe4 is concerned is 180. When it comes ...

In answer to your questions: 1. SigScribe4 data fles (*.ss4) are, by default, located as follows: Windows: c:\My Documents\signal diagrams\ (note that this is the "all users" documents folder - not the user-specific My Documents). Delete using (typically) Windows Explorer. Mac: /Users/[use...

sp762,

Electrical locking is coming soon - we are aiming towards April 2012. This would seem the most practical option for you.

And with railway modelling - too far is not even far enough!!

A customer has Windows 7 (32-bit) operating system. SigScribe4 works satisfactorily except that it hangs when attempting to use the print dialog meaning that SigScribe4 has to be stopped via Task Manager. The printer involved is a HP Photosmart Premium A309a. It uses a wireless connection. Has anyon...

We have decided on a workable/practical approach for electrical locking and are in the prototyping stage. There are knock-on implications regarding modification of the overall configuration of our lever frames. We would ideally like to be able to make electrical locking retro-fittable. We also need ...

Version 1.2.8 repairs an error in the mechanism for handling comments in
ITFs (Interlocking Table Files). Previous versions were in fact regarding
everything from the beginning of the first comment to the end of the last
comment as all one comment.

Version 1.2.7 is now available for download from The MODRATEC Shop: https://MODRATEC.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24&products_id=98 This fixes a bug that caused some errors in certain situations involving conditional locking. It may also have caused some interlockings to b...

After analysing the situation, it is clear that there is a bug in our software. We apologise for this and will devise a fix as soon as possible.

tux,

Please send your ss4 and itf to MODRATEC:Help so that we can more easily do the analysis.

On 10 December 2011, we opened the new and improved MODRATEC Shop.

Please enjoy, and let us know if there are any wrinkles that need ironing out!

We have tested flex-wit operating a turnout via 5m of tube. The run included a gentle 90-degree turn (approx 250mm radius) at the lever frame and a similar reflex turn at the turnout. It works perfectly well. There was no support for the tube other than at each end. As a general principle, copper is...

This is something that will be incorporated in SigScribe10.

As to ordering, the levers are supplied unpainted. The builder paints them whatever colour suits.

I would be surprised if there is not somewhere to plug in an external microphone.
