Hello Barrett,

Those awfull RSC signals are still there because I haven't finished Munich Hbf yet. It is a tedious job replacing all signal by the correct ones. So those will be replaced ofcourse. All updated signals are based on there exact real world location. In the pictures above these signals are in the correct position based on photo's, cabride video's, official charts of DB-netze. There where the signals for the left track are placed on the right side there is a NE4 Schachbrett-Tafel. As can be seen here http://i1299.photobucket.com/a…house/SignalBruckeV11.jpg this is like in reallife.

120, thanx, I will definitely contact you about Augsburg soon as there are some area's which are not covered by Photo's nor video's.

Greetings,

Hello All,

Since Signalteams new H/V signals came out I thought is was time to update to Munich to Augsburg route. As I was busy updating the signals (replacing them one on one) I found out that the signal placement was not very realistic. Signals were in the wrong position, not the correct type of signal etc. Even the speed limits are wrong at some part of the route. So I decided to completely update the route, remove signals where they didn't belong, placing signals at the correct position, adding speedlimits etc. This is still an on going project, even a small station will take at least 30 minutes to update. Watching video's of Fuhrerstandsmitfart, DB-netze maps etc.
Below you will find some comparison shots. In some screenshots you will notice billboards on the tracks, I use these for correct placement of the signal links. So please disregard the billboards as they will be removed once the update is released.

RWMatze, thanks! That is very helpful!

This is the link to the Serviceeinrichtungen of Mammendorf Bahnhof. The last page is a map of the station with all the symbols. I was able to guess some symbols, like the gegengleisanzeiger.

Hello all,

I'm busy updating the Munich to Augsburg route. This means the correct placement of signals, signs etc. DB Netz gives alot of information about stations and tracks via Stredax.bahn.de.
Especially the stations between Munich and Augsburg are well covered in the Gleise in Serviceeinrichtung pdf's. These documents give valuable information about signals, sperrsignale etc. However I cannot find a document which explains what certain symbols mean. There is a "legende" in these documents but it doesn't cover the signal symbols. Does anybody know if there is a document which explains these symbols?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Schuster,

I installed the updated KS-signal package. Ofcourse first uninstalling the older version. As I'm busy updated and editing the Signal's on the Augsburg-Munchen route. Now I found a problem with the signal indicator. It seems the "Z" is not available. For example signal 12ZS14 at Munchen Pasing station is not rendered correctly. At the part where the Z should be there is a small image saying the Texture is unavailable.

Hey Schuster,

Hmmm I thought I read the manual very carefully, guess not :-D. Thanks for the info! And once again, great signals!

Hello Schuster and Fopix3d,

Thanks for your answers. I suspected it was not possible to do this but as I'm not a script specialist I thought I give it a try here.

Schuster, I hope I don't bother you with all my question but I have another one.
On many German station there is a combined Zs6. As you can see in the same youtube film I posted above (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdyHG4P01IA&hd=1) minute 02:18. In this case not 1 but alot more Asig's control this Zs6. Is it possible to make the Zs6 operate just like a sperrsignal? Because when a sperrsignal is placed in between Link 0 and Link1+ of a signal it will switch to clear when a Asig shows Hp1 or Hp2. I suppose you can do this for the Zs6 as well. That way you can have a Zs6 Mast further from the Asig's as a combined Zs6.

Hello Remonse,

This is a Youtube link of the departure of a BR101 from track 24 Munchen Hauptbahnhof. As you can see from 01:46 the train is about to pass a crossover (Engelse Wissel). Signal N23-25 is protecting the crossover. As you can see, the PZB 2000hz magnet is placed in the crossover for trains going straight ahead. On the right of Signal N23-25 there is another signal protecting a crossover as well.

Hallo Schuster,

Sorry for typing in English but my german writing isn't very good. At this moment I'm replacing the signals on the Augsburg to Munich Route. Not just replacing but also making it as realistic at possible. Using pictures, youtube, Streda.X website for track layout and signalling.
While I was busy replacing the signals at the Munich Hbf, I found out that signal N23/25 and (N23/25) are both placed on a crossover. Now this is ofcourse a problem because the LINK 0 can only be placed on one piece of track. As crossovers are made of several pieces this means that the signal only protects one piece of track, for example straight ahead and not a right turn. Would it be possible to create a signal with more LINK 0's? Or is this a Railworks limitation, just ONE LINK 0?

And thank you very much, and ofcourse the rest of the SignalTeam, making these amazing signals available!

Frank

Hi Maik,

Talking about stupid, I found out what the problem is. I'm so used to ZUSI that I constantly pressed the DEL key on the NUMBLOCK . In ZUSI that is the key for PZB-Frei. I somehow forgot to press the END key instead . Things are working great again! I'm not sure why PZB90 is still BETA because I never encountered any problems!

One other question I have, which 2000hz magnet do I need to use at a HP without a Vorsignal. The PZB 2000hz magnet supplied with Railworks or do I need to use the 1000/2000hz combi magnet from VR?

Greetings and thanks for all your help!

Hello Maik,

I'm starting a scenario where the train is waiting on a siding to depart. So I haven't passed a signal or a 500hz magnet yet. Once I get a green signal I start moving and then the 70/80 lights start to flash. As I have a green signal in front I press "PZB-Frei" nothing happens the lights keep flashing. Even after I passed the signal the lights keep on flashing, not matter how long or how often I press PZB-frei.

The same goes for the Zwangsbremsung. For a signal test (KS-signal indicating line-speed) I passed a signal indicating a lower line speed ahead, 120 km/h as a test I didn't press PZB-Wachsam and so I got a zwangsbremsung. After the train came to a complete halt I pressed PZB-Frei, nothing happened. The 500hz and 1000hz lights were still lite, and the warning buzzer kept on buzzing. No matter how many times or how long I pressed the PZB-frei button I couldn't clear myself from the warning.

Mailk, thanks for the quick responses I hope I don't keep you from you work (hopefully some nice addons ).

Frank

Hello Maik,

Yes I tried that. I even pressed the PZB-frei button for 30 seconds. Nothing happens. Btw I love the Expert-Line products. Hopefully one day the BR628 will be added to the Expert-Line products. It would be a nice addition to the Koblitzer Bergland route.

Hello All,

Since a few days PZB90 is not working properly anymore (I have the BR143 and the BR 111). I added all the correct magnets to the Hagen-Siegen route (3 days work).

The situation is as follows, when I start moving (in this case with the BR143) the 70/80 lights start blinking. Normally I press "PZB Frei" and the correct light is switch on, in this case 70 as I'm driving in Zugart M. But since two days when I start moving in the same situation and I press "PZB Frei" there is a small pause in the blinking and then 70/80 start blinking again. This stays that way for at least 500m. Then the blinking stops and the 70 light is lite.

When I have a zwangsbremsung and the train is completely stopped I "free" my self again pressing "PZB Frei" but nothing happens, the 500hz and 1000hz lights stay on and the warning sounds stays on as well. It doesn't matter what I do I cannot cancel the warning and start moving again.

I hope someone has a sollution.

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys for your replies!

At this moment I'm re-signalling and installing VR magnets at "Im Koeblitzer Bergland". There are some speedrestrictions on the part from Wildau to Koeblitz. The normal speed is 100km/h and at some point there is a speedrestriction announced by a Lf6. For example you are travelling at 100km/h and there is a Lf6 announcing 60 km/h.

As I understand, at the Lf6 sign there is a 1000hz magnet which is always active. So I have to press "Wachsam" and reduce the speed. Is there also a magnet placed at or before the Lf7 sign? 500hz perhaps?

More important, which magnets of Virtual Railroads do I use for this situation? And is it possible to do it with the magnets of Virtual Railroads?

Thanks again! Sorry for writing in English! I can read german but not really write it.

Greetings,

Frank

Fopix thanks for the link to that website! It made placing some signals alot easier.

However, I'm still not sure which magnet to place at a speed restriction sign. As the maker of SH1 website explains, normally at a speedrestriction (not at a Signal) there is more then 1 magnet. Let's say the normal line speed is 140 km/h but the speed has to be reduced because of a tight turn. Now there is a Lf6 sign telling me I have to reduced speed to lets say 90 km/h. In reallife at the Lf6 sign there have to be more then one magnet, at least what I understand from SH1.org. Now in Railworks we don't have these magnets (btw I use those of Virtual Railroads). So which magnets do I have to use to simulate the correct PZB action at a speed restriction?

For those who use ZUSI 2, in ZUSI at a Lf6 with speeds lower then 100km/h there are even 3 magnets.

Frank

Hello all!

Sorry my post is in English, unfortunately my german writing is really poor.

At this moment I'm busy placing PZB magnet (Virtual Railroads) to get a prototypical working of PZB90 using the wonderful locomotives of VR.

Most of the time I know where to place the magnets, only in one situation I'm not sure.
At a speed restriction sign (no signal) just a sign which indicates a speed below 100 km/h I place a 1000hz magnet, which is always active. But which magnet do I place at the sign where the speed should be driven? A 500hz or another 1000hz magnet?
