If we say a white plunge buts the block to line clear, a red plunge moves the needles to train on line and a black plunge is neutral. I thought 'is line clear' would be answered on the white plunger and train on line answered on the red, however i've been told in at least one area 'is line clear' was answered by one white plunge and repetition of the is line clear code on the black plunger. Any thoughts?

This buzzer is also operated by the simulator if something has been done incorrectly. For example in the absence of electric locks on our starter signals, if a starter is pulled off without LC being obtained, the buzzer gives a series of 'raspberries' to say you've done something wrong, and only stops when you have replaced the lever. Likewise for other errors! (On our simple demo this feature is disabled to allow greater flexibility in operating levers for demonstration purposes.)

Once it was in and the ground frame normalised Chippenham would send 'train out of section' but what would he need to do to get the train out again? Block back outside home signal springs to mind but was that the case?
