Usually I place double mainline track so signalling is pretty easy with each direction on its own track with its own signals.
Recently I started modelling a single track route which brings me to a signalling issue.
At intervals along the track I have passing sidings with direction marks and appropriate signals. The problem is the last signal at the exit of one siding declares the track ahead is un-signaled and stays at red, stopping AI trains. The sidings are at prototypical distances apart so it doesn't see the signal at the entrance of the next siding. If I add signals in between the sidings, what is to prevent corn-field meets? Adding extra sidings will not be prototypical for the route. Is there a Trainz solution?
