Hi Guys, me again!

image.jpeg.8a4fff9b96e651ee3c15250211794c0f.jpeg

When putting a reverse signal onto a track, when the track next to it is a standard distance away, the only way to fit the signal in is to set the parallel distance to -0.5 m.  (Well, it will fit at -0.4, but this places it closer to the track it doesn't apply to.) Leave the parallel distance at 0, and it is actually sitting in the other track.

Normally this works just fine, but for the "W" shunt signal that sits atop the form lock signal, there is no option to adjust it. See picture above.

The only way to position it correctly is to turn off the automatic snap-to setting and line it up by eye. If the track is aligned to 0° or 90° z, then the signal can be aligned to the track direction using the X or Y coordinate, but the other coordinate has to be done by eye, and if the track is not aligned straight, both x and y have to be estimated by eye.

Would it be possible to have the "W" signal amended to allow a parallel distance adjustment?

Cheers

Simon.

The model Ra 11 - waiting sign / shunting signal (8823C295-28A1-41D4-93A1-040622AD1AEE) does not actually have the parallel distance property.

If you have any requests for a model, you must contact the builder. Perhaps he will add the desired and missing property. In any case, only he can do it. You can find the creator as shown in the picture. But you don't need to contact him anymore because I'm already doing that (see below).

Hallo @Roter Brummer,

vielleicht schaust Du Dir diesen Wunsch mal an. Ich weiß nicht, ob Du das "einfach so" umsetzen könntest, weil dieses Signal ja keinen Gleiskontakt hat, sondern "nur" seitlich an das Gleis andockt.

maybe you should take a look at this request. I don't know if you could implement it "just like that" because this signal has no track contact, but "only" docks to the side of the track.
