Default Competition 207 :: Zeds

Any 'Z' move, i.e. a working that doesn't usually run or is not in a standard timetable. For example 5Z90 Derby - Laira.

Then submit something that seems like it would be a Z move! It's effectively going to be anything out of the ordinary apart from failed train drags isn't it.

Since Sercos used to be 1Z14s etc but are now 1Q14s (even though they still are Zs - just easier to identify them as a 'Q') I'd allow them. But I expect there'll be another 'Serco' competition some time soon so you might want to consider using something else.

Erm...

In my experience a failed train being assisted is a "Zed", as is a train proceeding empty to assist a failed train. I've run as both 5Z99 and 2Z99 under just such circumstances. In addition, stuff running outside the timetable isn't necessarily a "Zed" either.

Hope this doesn't mess things up.

I uploaded my photograph but when I clicked 'Proceed' or whatever, it comes up with an 'Error 500 Server Error' - it's happened twice now!

Technically this a Z but I don't think its worthy working the same path as a normal passenger train http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l5...6/swr/djs4.jpg

failed train rescue locos going to clear the line, and snowploughs are 1Z99 I think, usually, unless it has started pulling the failed one or no snow, when it's 2Z99
