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 props can be assembled into nearly any aspect you desire.

As 100% game speed means that vehicles travel far faster than is realistic, the flashing signals are calibrated to match real life flash speeds at the same time as vehicle speeds match real life - this means setting game speed in Play It! to ~40% (aka 0.4) is heavily recommended.

Note that these signals are purely decorative, the aspect they display has no real impact on your trains in-game.

A big thanks to everyone who provided references and advice throughout my 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!

If you really like my assets and want to support me, you can do so on Patreon[www.patreon.com] where I take commissions from patrons and post updates on my projects. (sometimes)

To commission me directly, contact me via email at astrategynerd@gmail.com or comment on my profile to discuss other methods of communication. I am currently quite busy with university and other assets though, so depending on the type of request I may redirect you to a number of other quality creators.

The issue was identified; a mod with Prop Snapping functionality was missing. I recommend Prop Anarchy temporary fix and the mods that go along with it, and I have added the info to the signals user guide (linked at the top of the page) accordingly!

He is right I can't move them up or down. and i have the stuff you told us to do. Is there something wrong with the model.

If prop snapping is disabled, prop heights may be reset by certain actions - there is also an issue with move it for some users where moving a prop causes its height to reset; I mention this in the user guide as well I believe but a workaround, especially with a group of props, is to copy it, then adjust its height while copied before actually placing it down.

my new issue is that i lower the signal heads with the page down key, soon as I get it at the level i need it goes back up to default height?

I am in love with this. I can't wait to see what you do for the new road Crossings.
