Decoration (unfunctional signal?

[BryanMar3046]

hello,
In a route that I edit a lot, I have a pending 3rd track to be attached to a main line, but is there a Unfunctional signal (non working and doesn't turn green red yellow but blank) that I can download or find? Any help is appreciated!

Lets look in the content manager, category = scenery and keywords = signal.

or you could use a scripted signal attached to a dummy length of invisible track and set it to 'Approach Lit'. That should give you a permenantly dark signal...

Or your could take a working signal, change the kind to scenery, and remove all the working parts such as the script and coronas from the mesh-table.

I like this idea. Fast and practical.

On a sidenote, JR's signal kit also has a "signal mast" asset which you could pair with any regular ladder and it'll look like under construction.

Cheerio,

Sounds legit. When I do that what script should i write? (I'm new to coding so I'm taking some lessons)

You don't! There are numerous scripted signals on the DLS and elsewhere, but if you search the DLS for a series of Safetran sigs by norfolksouthern37 (pretty sure some are even built-in) click on them in Surveyor with the '?' icon then you can select 'Approach Lit' from the options in the dialogue box that opens. If the sig is on a short length of dummy invisible track it is never going to be approached, and therefor will never be lit...
