Once you have set up a piece of rail you can press enter instead of mousing to the dollar sign every time. In fact enter is the "go on and do it" key for a lot of actions.
The signaling station looks like than no mater which track you arrive/leave the station you can transition to any other track. So I do not understand why you then build those 2 additional merges and the X ? Isn't it basically completely the same whats in fron of the station already? Anyway - nice logo :)
It was only painful sometimes. At some moments I was like spit it out boy! Haha and and the signal and the signal.. the signal and the signal needs to brought out like this. Good video though.
Did you try doing the equivalent with manual signalling and see if it was better or worse for a fair test? I assume it's slightly worse performing but has the advantage that in manual you have way more control - e.g. you can force the express trains onto a separate line thus ensuring that they're never stuck. This is why I currently still always use manual setups, at least for city stations.
I can see you place a large train station and upgrade to signaling station... in my game I can't do that.. Even the button to upgrade a large station to signaling doesnt appear. Do you know why? BTW thanks for the tutorial
Odd, I thought that was still available. I know they did some changes, but you may have to remove the station completely. Good thing that when you remove and replace, it will keep the station information there.

Good to know, thanks
By adding the unnecessary x before the station it slows it down alot more.
You are right, it isn't needed.
Very interesting. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Finally, I was waiting for a fix to the stations for so long. This will definitely get me back into the game.
Enjoy playing again.
Thanks for this. Very good video for signal and layout experience. 👍
Very lovely and informative.
Is this still a valid video?

Thanks for the comment. I realized it wasn't necessary after it was pointed out.
how i use signals
This was helpful. Thanks, Johnny Two-times!

The setup is a nightmare to try doing it manual, so I didn't.
Why have a signal station and then spend money just to re cross all your tracks after you build them?
Habit. Unnecessary.

I reply myself after read about it in the forums. They removed that feature.

Do you wanna play the repeater?
