Return to The panel

---

There are a variety of signals on the panel. Almost always, signals are located on a track.

Main signal with a distant signal

Main signal with a distant signal

This is a main signal with a distant signal. Notice the button with the red dot – this button operates the main signal. Buttons with red dots define Train Routes.

Shunt signal

Shunt signal

The smaller signal with the gray button is a shunt signal. Gray buttons are used to set Shunt Routes.

Combined signal

Combined signal

When a tile contains both a main signal and shunt signal, the signal is said to be a combined signal. In this case, it has two buttons, a main signal button (red dot), and shunt signal button (grey). This is usually an exit signal.

Distant signal

Distant signal

A detached distant signal is shown at right. It provides a preview of what the next main signal aspect is showing.

Indications main signals

Main signal showing “stop” aspect

When a main signal is showing a “stop” aspect, the corresponding signal on the panel shows a red light.

Main signal showing “proceed” aspect

When the signal is showing a “proceed” aspect, the signal on the panel shows a green light.

Main signal lock indication

If a route is set and locked, the square white light becomes lit. This is the route lock indication for the signal, and simply means that the train route has been fully set from that signal.

Locking signals

Like switches, signals may be manually locked also. Locking and unlocking is done using the LsSpt (Switch Lock) and LsESpT (Switch Unlock) buttons.

To lock a signal, press the LsSpt button together with the signal button.

When a signal is locked, it is put to stop immediately.

Putting a signal to stop

To simply put a signal to stop, use the HaGT together with the signal button.

It does nothing more than change the signal aspect to “stop”.
