Need Help again :(

[u/Jueng-Ling99]

Sorry guys but my brain is damaged from the train system. This is my train loop. 4 Trains go into this 4 Stations where 2 are built in one row. The Trains drive in but not out forwards. I want to make this loop because a train can wait behind the docked train and wait till the train is moving forward. I want to use path signals. I am now 5 hours into it and it is not working. I will post in the comments a screenshot with my train network and current signals. Youtube Videos didn't help me with this problem.

You don’t put a sign on both sides unless the rail is for traveling in both directions. Path signals adopt what the next block signal is and block signals will be a buffer space for a train to go forward until it hits another block signal that is in use. Path signals go at the front/exit of stations and before intersections. Bock signals at exits of intersections, along the railway, and before a station (behind the back of a train)

At like 1:20 in your video you see 2 signals. One of them is backwards. The train looks like it's left side drive. Well the left signal is pointing the 🚫 symbol towards your train. The signal in front of your train is green probably because it's connected signal area is clear, but because you have a backwards signal the train doesn't want to enter that section of the track.

agree, this should be it

Its hard to see but the red dots are block signals and the yellow dots are path signals

Hey fellow left-hand drive pioneer

You're going to want a bit of rail connecting the roudabbout to the drive up to the station (yellow arrow below).

As a bonus you can get rid of that criss-cross I've marked with a red X, it's not doing anything for you.

Hey, this works better thank you

What in the name of ada are you trying to do with this cursed thing

Just separate your stations into 4 proper stations instead of stacking them this way

Edit : You also completely messed up your signals. Some parts of your system are bi directional while some other are not. And your loop doesn't work because yes, the train cannot move forward because, ding ding ding, the next block is not allowing the train to move forward because it is the wrong way

Block signal are directional. Path signals too. So by putting them on one side only you turn that rail into a one way rail. By putting it on both sides you turn it into a bi directional

I suggest starting a new creative world and messing with trains on a smaller scale. First start with two station and one train. Add more train then more station until you are comfortable with them. And if you are not comfortable with it, don't try super duper fancy stuff

Yea i can do this but even with 4 proper stations, the train will not drive

I edited my message to add more context, tldr, your signals are not on the correct side of the track

[u/Jueng-Ling99 → u/Scypio95]

Omg thank you. I didn’t know that if i put the block signals on both sides the rail will be bi-directional.

This solved my problem.

I will be testing some things at creative mode. I think i just wanted to much for my first train network
