How do I back a train onto the transfer table?
Skye posted on March 26th, 2026
On my coaster, right after the home brakes comes the transfer table, then the station. Parallel to the station is the storage track.
Getting the train onto the storage track is easy. However, when I want to get the train out of the storage track and back onto the transfer table to move it onto the main line, the BWD button on the storage track won't illuminate. What am I doing wrong?
The train might be in the incorrect spot on the Transfertable. a few feet makes a lot of difference.

The train isn't on the transfer table, it's on the storage track.
The message by the "storage track" label on the control panel's "block" tab says that it's waiting for a clear block before it will let me move the train out of storage; i.e. NoLimits thinks there's a train sitting on the transfer table, but there isn't.
Ok, my mistake, u have to click on "Full Manual", then on The Blue button on the "Storage Track"

Nope. The blue button doesn't illuminate in full manual either.

Is there space enough for the train on the track ? (if answer is yes then try to reduce the numbers of trains to 1)

Yes there is enough space for the train on the track. I tried running it with one train, though, just to see, and still no luck. It looks like there's a bug in the program.

Done, thanks :)
Got your mail and i updated the park.
U can't do with out transport coz the train starts to move towards the station then u can't switch to Automatic mode coz the train is moving at 0,5 mph.
So i made a change to the TransferTable and did send u the mail back with the modified park.

Hi, thanks for that. What changes did you make other than ticking the box to enabling the transport device on the transfer table? When I enable the transport device on my file (as I sent it to you) the train reverses straight through the transfer table and out the other end, but in your version which you sent me it stops on the table.
Edit: brilliant, I fixed it by centering the transport mechanism switch location to the middle of the table, setting the speed as slow as possible and then setting the acceleration and deceleration values to 0.1 and it now works well enough as a 1920s gravity-powered transfer. :)

No problem, i got your email. Hopefully we can colab some time to make any project to a succes.
