hi,

i’m wondering why you recommend to place signals at the beginning of a passing loop?!
usually “entry” signals would be placed before the passing loop and “exit” signals at the end of the passing loop tracks.

would that conflict with the signalling logic of train fever? i see a lot of people placing signals this way in lets play videos, often causing trains to stop in places where they shouldn’t stop and thus blocking switches.

i would like to know what happens if you would signal a passing loop/station realistically like this example:
