  • A dual-level system did cross my mind, but the real drawback is that you’d have to remember which level is going e. g. north/east and south/west and place each signal on the correct side or rotate the blueprint the correct direction. Every. Time. Forgetting once will result in a signal being on the wrong side leaving no path for the trains to travel. I would forget frequently.


  • I read earlier that rails won’t snap between two blueprints, so I already expected to have to lay the majority of the track manually. That coupled with what you’ve said makes it seem as though blueprints are useless for rail networks other than the aesthetics surrounding them. That’s not nothing, but having to manually place all the signals at every intersection will be a chore. I guess I’ll just have to minimize intersections.
