signal indicating problem

[rrbobby]

I have a problem with 2 headed signals not lighting the proper head based on left and right divergence of junctions. I use USA L02 for left and USA 02
for right. I lay all my track in one direction. I place the signal ahead of the lever and the lever ahead of the spline point as per signaling instructions for
Trainz. Both routs lite up the top head. To add to the problem this does not
always happen. I need a soulution. All suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Hi Robert!

What type of signal(s) are you having the trouble with?

signal type

I am using USA double headed signals designated as left divergent, USA L02
and USA O2 for right divergent junctions. These signals are on yhe right side of the track as is USA convention. Robert.

a signal is required between 2 opposing juntions in both directions! Thanks.

What version of Trainz are you using? Code changes between TRS04 and TRS06 made some older signals unreliable in later version and vica-versa, although the problem you describe is not unusual.

On my original Clovis route I fell back to signalling the whole thing with '04' signals because of exactly this issue. On Clovis2 I am determined to get divergence-indicating signals working properly. The route contains many double crossovers and the frustrating thing is that in operationally and physically identical situations the signals work perfectly in some spots and give wrong indications in others. I am currently trying hard to find a solution.

(Note: the first person to mention 'Track Direction' gets - well, something ! I have deliberately and carefully re-laid track around the offending junctions to no avail. All track on Clovis is bi-directional anyway, so the sigs have to work 'with' and 'against' the track direction. Whatever merits 'Track Direction' may or may not have, it is emphatically NOT the issue here...)

Hey Andy (off topic) how about track priority markers. i've just started using them at East sais with a tad of success, they all follow their respective tracks. Scholle end(westbound) acting like a bunch of blind drunks. Interesting but stupid.
RRBobby, I tend to put signals to protect the junction. The AI will change the jnct without signals. If your in a thickly signalled area sometimes it causes stoppages and overruns putting signals where they really should be.
