  "textContent": "> skc: You don't want those signals facing the stations, just after the junction. A train that stops there will block the junction, which is how deadlocks happen. You always want one train length between a signal and the previous junction, so that a train stopped at said signal is fully clear of the junction.\n\nYeah, you're right about the signal at the exit of the station. I picked the wrong length of track/signal spacing combination, and just did it a bit too quickly between other things I was doing rather than give it the extensive treatment like MasterHellish has in two recent videos of his: Beginner Railways and Intermediate Railways.\nThat said, the thumbnail for the 2nd of MH's videos shows the same signal arrangement (though right-hand running).\n\nStatistics: Posted by skc — 15 Apr 2026 14:57\n\n* * *",
