hi.
I am going to try to be as informative as possible I have a huge route about 300 miles and growing. however I am to the point where I am adding signals and well things dont seem to be working as I would have thought here is my layout problem areas that I need help with. a diagram below to help
========Yard=========x=-X---------b------X<b------b--------------X-=x==========May be a Yard=================x=-X--------b------------b>X-------------b-----------X-=x==========Yard========x=X---- etc.....
so as to the diagram listed above. I hope it doesn't word wrap. I have a double track and a single track layout this diagram is far from actual scale
Using USA Signals
< = Branch line
X = #2 Signal
x = #4 signal
b= #4 signals in both directions
Now here is the problem. My trains end up going head on to each other on the single track. When I remove b They end up going 1/2 the limit. granted the above scale is around 60 miles I also do have branch lines off of the single track (Switching off the side to get to 1 or more warehouses. These branches may go either way.) I need the trains not to get caught up in a head on and I need the trains on the single track to go at track limit.
This is all the info I can give you.
Thanks for the help!
