CORRECTION: While desirable, the ability to switch from one track to another on the SLRR is NOT essential. Our locomotives are made of 0s and 1s, not 100 tons of iron, they can be easily moved from one track to another. Also, switches such as the one described here have been available from private SL residents for years. Jer Straaf

In RL, the switches are signalled as they are built, means, there are always a straight track and a branching track. the arrow is always showing to the branching track, thats not necessarily a branching Line. For that, having the signals once this way, once the other way, might be confusing to noobs. I would plead for having them in a universal way set as the switches are built, as they are signalled in RL. Everest Piek 21:43, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
