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

You're right. it isn't essential, but tedious to move the trains by editing them. It is killing a lot of the experience Everest Piek 21:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

problem about being noob proof

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)

• There is a little bit of education to be done. I agree with the principle of making sure the switches are all setup the same way. In order to make the switches more Noob friendly the dwarflights are also installed. --Stryker J 09:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks Guys. I will redact my statment under the Signal diagram and build tham as Everest advises. Sylvan
