I want a railroad between 2 cities, on the left the train go to a town, and on the right railroad from a town to another.
However, no matter how I place the switch, or the lights, the line keeps using only 1 railroad, and not the other…

Can anyone show me how I should do this?

Signals on the outer side of the double track (Or the right side of where the trains are driving)

You still have to make two lines opposite to get the trains to use both platforms – Devs are working on a platform selection feature.

I got the thing working, but I can only get 2 trains running, because if I place a third on the track, it keeps “waiting for free path”… any way to get more trains going?

how long is the line ?

you need at least one signal (stations count as signal) between each train , so if your line is long enough , put a signal in between the 2 stations

The signals are based upon the German system; right side running. I’m also wishing the left hand side signals will be available soon, because in almost half of the countries trains drive left (Belgium, Italy, UK, Japan, France, ….).

So, until the left hand signals are available (if ever), you have two options: driving at the right hand side and placing the signal as usual at the outside of the parallel tracks, or driving left and placing the signals between the 2 parallel tracks. Both options are not very prototypical, but it works. 😉

But I do have some trouble getting more then 2 trains running, because if I get a third, it says waiting for free path… Any idea how to fix that?

This would increase the capacity of your lines.

I am at work at the moment, but as soon as I am home I will make some print screens to show the setup.

The sections are created by placing signals. As was mentioned, there are signals built in to the stations. You need a setup like

…………………..__________Signal__________Signal________Signal_______

Station—– <                                                                                                                                >——Station

………………….—————–Signal—————–Signal—————Signal————

(Ignore the ……. on the left, had to put it like that to get it to align correctly…)

I hope that makes sense 😛 and as mentioned, the signals go on the right side of the track according to the direction the train is running in. If you place a signal on the left side of the track the train will ignore it (but if it comes down the opposite way then it will use it)

You can also make signals one way (by selecting them) which will force locos to only go in one way on it.

*EDIT – Also, always have a signal as a loco is leaving the double track so if it needs to wait, it will wait at the “end” of the double track instead of halfway down it.
