Nerd Notes™

These are modern LED colorlight signals, often referred to as ‘Vader signals’ due to the distinctive look of their long snow hoods. Common in new signal installations throughout Canada and in the US outside of the Northeast Corridor, these particular models are displaying a Clear aspect, meaning trains can pass through at track speed, to avoid getting any of your cim engineers in any trouble.

Note that these signals are purely decorative, the aspect they display has no real impact on your trains in-game. However, to increase the variance of the signals and even make them display realistic aspects for your track layout and track speed, use this pack in conjunction with its (upcoming within a few days) modular addon pack, which can be used to create as many as hundreds of thousands of valid configurations for high-detail builds!

A big thanks to everyone who provided references and advice throughout the process, particularly to Ronyx69 for sharing his own asset files, without which this pack would not yet exist, and REV0 for answering my many Rwy Project questions and sharing the Rwy PSDs with me.

As always, if you like the pack don’t forget to rate up and share!
