Unless your track layout is totally unrealistic (which I very much doubt) it will be possible to signal it as per the real thing using the basic rules of signalling.

Here are a couple of pre scenery pctures that show the track plan, (I dont have a track plan available at the moment)

THis is the area where the gantry now sits. On the left you can see the double slip. Going away from you..

The left leg drops to the traverser.
The right leg goes t the double track station.
Coming towards ...
you the left leg of the double slip goes into the tunnel and is a hidden sidding. The right leg goes into he tunnel and exits onto the viaduct as a single line

Stepping back a bit

In this overview you can see that over the viaduct on the right the track splits back into two to reenter the station top left corner as double track

My intention with the gantry in this pic

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...n30/gantry.jpg

was to indicate that the right of way for the single track over the viaduct was yours not trains coming the other way.

If anyone has a more prototypical solution feel free to suggest / advise
Foghut. The basic problem with your 5 stack lights is I havent a clue what the 5 lights mean !!!!! A summary would be good ?

After starting this layout 4 months ago I have realised that any abilities I have in modelling can often by overshadowed by my lack of prototypical knowledge
