Where the green dots are signals, and track direction markers are the yellow arrows. Make sure you have enough space for the longest train that will run before the first signal in the loop, this will stop a train being held at that signal from blocking the exit from the opposite track... Edit; if this is for overtaking then you will have to use triggers, i'd suggest...

Programming the Portals

The sessions of the Crewe route run to careful timetable and I have documented the method in various threads. This is the only method I have found that works reliably. I am just putting the finishing touches to a Crewe session '100 Trains' during which more than 100 trains pass through Crewe on a strict timetable over 3 hours including engine changes, shunting, breaking down and making up trains etc. the existing '50 Trains' session already uploaded utilizes all the control techniques I have configured to achieve timetable working - and it works GREAT!

i have one that works exactly like the junction controller. you drop the cube down in surveyor and tell it what signals to link together. one as a parent and the other as a child. there are two ways of doing this. one way the child signal will display exactly what the parent signal does, and the other way is that it only clones the danger state, under any other aspect they are automatic (normal). it was a small side project that never really got developed fully but it would be worth a try. get it here (http://www.jointedrail.com/content/Freeware/Trackside/SignalLink.cdp) and let me know how it goes. i also have a token block controller that is very similar but is more complex to set up, you can have multiple triggers and signals.

Try the Portal Timetable Rule found on the DLS. http://www.openspeedway.net/files/pics/ptr.jpg You can set which portal you want it to come out of with "Emitting Portal You can set what time it comes out with "Add New Timetable" You can set what train comes out with "Add an existing saved consist" You can select a driver with "Add Driver to Consist" You can use the command bar to add and save commands for the AI to follow. To add another train just click on the "I" box at the bottom.
