>Anyone knwo much about signals?
We've had a couple of short threads about signalling in the past. Try the Search button above.
If you start from the position that a home signal is there to halt a train moving into a position where it will collide with another train you can't go far wrong. Basically every movement through a set of points will require a signal to protect it. Don't worry too much about distants because you don't have the space. Once you have the "running" signals decided, move onto the shunting signals.
I posted a layout design some time ago and then proceeded to draw up a signalling diagram for it. Deciding where to put the signals forced me to consider what train movements would be taking place. That in turn caused a few layout modifications. Unfortunately I can't really upload it here as the size reduction required would render it a waste of time.
I hope this helps.
