B&O 1960 Mast problem #sml


 

All,
?
? ? I entered a new mast to my layout using the n3ix signal board with DCC control.? Using B&O 1960 position targets.? Normally is just use standard signal masts that looks ahead at next block, but this new one seems to be looking past next mast and it's block.? Is this normal?

Roger,

?

Take a look at the Signal definitions for your chosen system at .? Then pick the exact signal mast you put on your panel and look at all the aspects it supports.? If the signal mast you picked has aspects like “Approach Medium”, “Approach Limited”, etc and you haven’t disabled them in the signal mast table entry, then the logic is more complicated than if the only aspects are “Stop”, “Approach” and “Clear”.? HTH.

Robin,
?
? ?I think I had picked "Approach Medium" in the B&O mast aspect.? I unchecked the others.? I didnt see one that had just "Medium" aspect.
?
? ?Will delete the masts and choose a simpler mast.?

All,?
?
? ? I've gone back to using my standard Basic Signals Masts and all is good.? Just to be clear, the B&O masts were looking at next THREE blocks in determining a stop aspect.
