The problem is that when a train happens to wait to long at the signal after it, then it turns around, as you probably know. When that happens and there's a one-way signal it stops at that point to follow the correct route again. With a both way signal it CAN run through the last section it was instead of going back the follow the correct route again and can mess up the whole system. A trick I often use is using the gantries as eye candy and putting a small dwarf signal in front of it to make it a one-way signal, the gantry is actually not used as a signal in that way, but in my opinion it looks better like that.
Don't have access to my screenshot folder at the moment, but when I have and you're still interested I could post one.

@IA
Oh god, should have known that years ago. I have been hassling with that since I've got it around the release date. It makes sense though, and it looks better too.

Nice station in the 1910 pic! Where did you find the platform roof, though? I don't recognize that from the UK Stations set.

Lutterworth is great!

Lutterworth is great!

Yes it is. The only thing needed is a good stairs, but I don't know if they have been made.

Also funny that DJC also uses that type of 'road' to separate the buildings from the station, I do the same.

My favorite has to be the last one, where are these stations all from?

The platform roof is a little something I made myself using some of the default station graphics.

Thanks for the comments guys, some more shots of Lutterworth in part 4.

Not a fan of the before or after junctions, very messy, sorry!

I have to agree unfortunately, it's also not very realistic. Though it's true that it's difficult to make a good looking network in this game.

Thanks for all the awesome pictures guys! Tonight I only got 2 pictures since I havn't been playing too much but here they are. The first one is 2 trains, one BN and one UP, waiting at the station for grapes. Picture number 2 ATSF Super Chief cruising along the coastline.

[DJC]

Haha, well the junctions are more for functionality than beauty, have to say I wasn't happy with the first one which didn't work well at all. I'm pretty satisfied with the second attempt, though I guess it does look like a sprawling mess of lines.

Part 5...

I need an angelic choir right about now. I think I'm falling in love

Sorry to break the mood loco, here's some pics of a mod I am going to release soon:

It's a mod that allows you to make trains go in circles forever.






Did I fool you for a second? I didn't think so.

Here is what I am actually releasing, a pack of 3 vehicles to make the Amtrak Cascades Talgo Trainset.

Amtrak Cascades Talgo Trainset.

"Where's the cabbage?" I'm sure there are some F40PHs you could use; rode that train myself once. Looks all right.

[Spacek531]

"Where's the cabbage?"

If I get bored enough and find the time I will make one, but for now there are other locomotives that I use.

Some time ago, I captured an AI building a tram track. But it mistakenly think my passenger stop is its. Just see this...
I am red.

[The Tram man]

Haha, that just proves how stupid they really are.

[Zakos]

I discovered that on the very same scenario...it's kinda unfair that they can do that.
