Other features
Some signals are offset from their placement position with the intention of their placement on the end of platforms (as seen in examples images).

Alpha numeric OFF indicator waypoints offset by 40 and 80m for placement mid-platform. The idea is for these to be placed at the end of the platform followed closely by a path signal. This should result in the OFF indicator displaying when the train can proceed.

Features randomised signal name plates that should differ per model.

Permissive speed indicator textures provided by Mezzie.

Detail on signal aspect animation
3-aspect
Train passes signal then the red animation is triggered resulting in the red aspect being displayed. When a train approaches a signal and the path is clear then green animation triggered. The green animation will show a single yellow aspect for a few seconds then switch to green. If path not clear then signal remains red. When path becomes clear a single yellow aspect is shown.

4-aspect
Same as 3-aspect but when green animation triggered single yellow shown, followed by a double yellow and finally green.

This differs from how Killa’s colour light signal mod operates. Killa’s CLS show the yellow aspects within the red animation therefore if the path is not clear the train will wait at a single yellow. In reality single yellow means proceed but be prepared to stop. This is why the yellow aspects have been included within the green animation for this mod.

Route indicators and feathers
The game does not provide information that could be used to display the trains route. In the future non-functioning feather assets may br provided that could be placed on a signal.
