Hello all.
I have been helping TSted Designs on his new route, "Stourbridge Railways", and I have some questions regarding signalling. Just some small things about the route before I ask all sorts of questions:
As I said in the last point there, I need some help with the signals. My main problems are as follows:
In relation to the second point, I'm asking at the moment about Signal SJ87, which is located at the end of Platform 2. It looks like this:
As the photo illustrates, it is comprised of, from top to bottom, a feather, 3 aspects, and a ground signal. In Train Sim, I have got this signal, from East Coast Mainline South: London - Peterborough:
And I have it hooked up in the following way:
The signal does not work, annoyingly. When setting junctions against the player train in P2, the signal does not change to red, the feather does not show when going over to the Up line, and the Ground Signal bit doesn't light up at all. Does anyone know how I can change the signal so it will light up the right lights for the right routes? This requires knowledge of the area I don't have. This relates to the previously mentioned questions 2 and 3. Answers to question 4 would also be appreciated!
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and hopefully help,

I have been helping TSted Designs on his new route, "Stourbridge Railways", and I have some questions regarding signalling. Just some small things about the route before I ask all sorts of questions:
- It covers Stourbridge Town - Stourbridge Junction
- It is a freeware route for TS2020
- It is an authentic representation of the Stourbridge Branch Line
- It includes a small section of the line between Hagley and Lye, through Stourbridge Junction
- The Stourbridge Junction area requires the signals to work for scenarios
As I said in the last point there, I need some help with the signals. My main problems are as follows:
- Where are the signals in the Stourbridge Junction area?
- Which routes do the signals show and how do they show them?
- How do I get all of the signals to work properly?
- How do I test the signals thoroughly?
In relation to the second point, I'm asking at the moment about Signal SJ87, which is located at the end of Platform 2. It looks like this:
- Link 0 is on the Down line, adjacent to the signal
- Link 1 is on the Down line, just beyond the signal
- Link 2 is on the Down line, beyond the junction to the sidings
- Link 3 is on the siding closest to the Down line, just beyond the junction
- Link 4 is on the Up line, just beyond the junction from the Down to the Up
- Link 5 is on the Up line, just beyond Link 4
Here are screenshots from the route in TS2020, with the links from the signal marked on in their approximate positions:
