If I were to say that I principally use TRS06 to replicate a model railway layout - whether to prove a proposed design or enjoy other people's toys - I am sure that I would not find myself alone. However, this aspect of Trainzing brings with it a number of problems not least of which is signalling the layout. Those of you who create "full size" routes will know how difficult it can be to get the signals to work properly but the problem is much worse with "model" railways.
These are anything but prototypical; they are compact, squeezed, compromized, over-endowed with facilities and cursed with very short block sections. Signalling them is a nightmare and consequently most layouts have a few signal scattered around for the sake of appearances and few can boast working signals at all. Nevertheless, railway modellers can develop the eye to see past all these inaccuracies and most layouts operate on the "one engine in steam" principal where a single locomotive will be under the control of the operator and anything else that is moving is either shuttling backwards and forwards on its own track or running around a continuous loop. In no case will any train meet another.
So, I would be happy with non-working scenic signals and would like to know if there is any way that I can disable the superb examples to be found on the DLS so that they just sit there at clear or danger, never moving, never blinking and never bringing driver commands to a halt.
