Levers with white stripes (L/C released)

Post by signalhunter »

Hi all,
I recently used SigScribe4 4 to draw up the interlocking for a proposed layout. One lever, number 4, was given a line clear release, so had a white stripe on it. The problem is/was, whilst I could pull both the homes, numbers 2 &3, in rear of it, I couldn't pull lever 4 until 2&3 were returned. This prevented me from pulling 1, the distant for non stopping trains.
What have I got wrong?
Regards, Robert

signalhunter,

It's hard to suggest what the problem is without seeing your SigScribe4 file. Perhaps you would email the relevant file to Harold at MODRATEC Help - help@MODRATEC.com

Hello signalhunter,

By all means send me a copy of your ss4 file.

I am assuming the signals 2, 3, 4 are in sequence. It sounds as though you have interlocked 4 with 2 and 3. You are probably assuming that this provides sequential locking. Unfortunately, sequential locking is not possible with our frames and is not supported in SigScribe4. By interlocking one signal with another, it simply prevents both from being pulled at the same time, which is exactly what you are describing.

I hope this helps.
All the best
Harold
