That is a great screenshot!

Nice Idea! I do however have 2 sugestions: first with path signals you don't need all those you have now. One path signal at the entrance (marked blue) wil sufice to serve all depots and the tracks behind them just as efficiently as the setup you have now. Also I added an underpass from the first depot to the second exiting line. This will allow your trains to exit the first depot faster, and thus prevent other trains from 'bypassing' trains piled up in the first one:

I setup a test game running coal lines with Lev4 Maglev trains 3 tiles long pulling coal over a distance of 100 tiles. observed the trains for 10 game years! i oberved both stations at each route at all times. also had all 8 depots on each route open so i could see if there was a build up of trains waiting for an empty platform.

My original idea serviced 30 trains! once every third year a train had to wait at he entrance signal and there was at most 4 trains in the depots at any time!

Did a modified version with a presignal bypass staion that serviced 30 trains without a train EVER having to wait at the Entrance signal! not a jam or even the slightest kink at the stations for 10 years at the most there was 3 trains waiting in the escape depots at any time during the 10 year period.

then made a duplicate of your station and added another two platforms and started adding trains. At about 20 trains your design started to make jams at the PBS signals. Stopped at 25 trains as most of the time there was 6-7 trains waiting for a free track and another 3 trains was in the depots waiting for a free line! Thats half of the trais not making money at all time, instead of loading, unloading and traveling...

One of the reasons i thought of this stations was to compensate for production changes by making the escape depots as well as forced servicing, there is nothing worse than a busy pickup station with many trains where an industrys production goes down and the trains start jamming the mainlines... with PBS this function is allmost completely lost...

One thing i could not figure out with the PBS version is that there are never more than 3-4 platforms filled while the oldschool version had 6-7 platforms fille all the time?

those are Pre-Post signals, not PBS?

The pics say it al

you arent using PBS, but a system of Pre-Post signals, they work very different then Path Based Signals

on PBS you will have all bays filled as long as your routing towards the station is done correctly

So conclusion: the bypass idea works, the pbs doesn't (at least for this setup. ) quite interesting!

it would if you have the right signals placed

I have no Idea what you are talking about? Your saying the middle station is not PBS?

Please retard with pictures of the correct PBS signals then!

I don't know where to put this, but how can this happen? Two trains totally different lenght, but the depot information says they are the same lenght...

Well, you should post this in the OTTD Problems forum....

But for answer...
Try to take them to run, and see wheter it have the same length outside.

If it still isn't, try to make at least 5 pair of them and see wheter its repeated again.

The lower one has the default depot view shortening applied (7/8).

Oh, I don't know about it... Thanks for the answers!

It's me again.
I found a bit funny bug in ECS houses, those people love to build temples everywhere outside towns

Where did you get the grf for those highway/road medians and gantry?

Maybe a lot of car accidents occurred at those places

Hi ! Welcome to the forum! A beautiful screenshot !

[ZxBiohazardZx]

just a random shot:

the intercity/regional hub at Fraham: you can see an ICE leaving, ICE loading and the regional IC's pull out of the station as well, ICM is arriving from the north, VIRM entering from the south, another ICM is leaving southbound following the dmmd you can see on the bridge (i couldnt get a signal between the 2 bridges )

I'm glad to see that you went with eye-burning yellow for this

Hi all. Thought I'd share a shot of a dual direction coal drop I built for one of my games.
