Question: How to make an effective roundhouse?

[Florius]

Hey guys,

I have 4 railroads leading to 1 station. But I’m having trouble making 1 depot. Now I have 4, which is only able to go one way.
Am I the only one having this issue?

try to drag a railroad from THE left to the right? Dont know if it WorKs if it works you need to place signals. Els they think they are On the same track.

If you want to save space, make it accessible to one direction only. This works best in train stations, it´s also more

realistic.

Thanks, I have tried to make a switch like you did on the left bottom, but then I can’t drag the rails, so that doesnt really work… But I’ll give it a try!

Doesn’t it give any trouble though? That the trains say “Waiting for free line”  or whatever, if the rails is being used by other lines/trains.

Here is a mod to make a roundhouse, worked for me.

Good luck

@Luc3008: The mod is of no help, as it doesn´t dolve the connection problem.

@Florius: It´s realistic. If your lines have several blocks, the depot going train will have to wait just a bit, that´s ok imho.
