I'd think that regular exit signals would work better. Also make sure that they're two-way signals, because a train will wait at a PBS signal if all its routes go through two-way signals, but if they go to one-way signals it will approach the one-way signal with the hope that it goes green soon. > In the old (presignal) behaviour, a train would wait at <P until one or > more C signals are green. But now, a train returns to where it came > from... Is that a bug or a feature? It's a feature, trains no longer wait at red signals unless they can't find a path to their destination. While considering paths, they won't find paths through red two-way signals, but they will find paths through red one-way signals. -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
