Ok cheers sorted that now :D once again a new issue has orison I have a 2t signal to exit a power station yard now I've placed the links correctly but once gone into gameplay with train ready to drive I can't seem to get the 2nd track to light green? I switched junctions to reset them as normal, now the strange part is 1 track lights up green but the track next to it work once points have been switched over? I ever swapped the 2 round and same thing happens but just the opposite way round.

Here is a couple of images of my problem.

The signal I used was a LM (Liverpool to Manchester) G 2A 2T this signal is what I see at the power station in real life, any advice?

Plus it also have the option boxes in the fly out menu but this signal has no feather so what will I need to type in for this signal? Here is an image of that too.

Cheers, Ian.

you cant do that the 2T part of it refers to where your going not where from if you know what i mean, you would need a signal for each line.

Ok then least I know now, what signal would work for the 2 tracks on my track from the images as in real life there is only 1 signal on that gantry? I maybe wrong but as I haven't exactly watched the signal at the power station to see how it works I'm gathering both of the exit tracks use just that 1 signal or don't signals do that?

Just hada look at Google earth and there are two signals on the gantry one for each track as i put them in the route i sent you, so just use 2 x gantry 2asp 1T signals link 0 under the signal and link 1 to the exit on the main past the far bridge, that way it will only clear if the main is clear and the other adjacent track is clear for you to move off.

Ok thanks for the info i will have to take a look at that then on google earth. Only been using google maps. When I went up to Rugeley power station I couldn't see the other signal that is probably why I got confused lol. By the way just to make sure it was Rugeley power station you checked not a different one?

just place them by the track and put the link next to them, they will just repeat what the next signal says.

Hello again Antony new issue I'm having trouble with once again lol, I have these 2 signals on my track that I can't get to function correctly. You may recognise them on the main line of Rugeley TV I have a few images of the links can you tell me if they are correct as this mainline and the signal are suppose to connect to the platform 1 track.
Now obviously the links are fine there but I cannot find an F444 signal to do the rest of the junction any chance if these pics don't help much you could take another look at it for me?
Here are the pics anyways.

I think you would need and f45 signall not a 44, and the number 2 link needs to go right to the p[latform line, or the facing points will interfeer.

There is an F45 signal next to the F4 signal on the left hand mainline to enter the station this F4 signal is the 2nd track on the left you see they both are used to allow trains to enter platform 1 so is there any chance you could take a look at my route and tell me where the links will go as this line is abit confusing.
