All i can say is that im working on it  8) . The way its looking is that there will be a Local after Roosevelt ave and a local after 75 ave.
For the final F v5, you should look into having smooth curves for the local tracks, which if I remember correctly are not smooth.

Great news guys! I finally managed to create a Animated WD (Wheel Detector) Signal. This is a crucial part to some of the upcoming scenerios on the F and D and im certain it will be helpful along the IRT lines.

There's only one thing i gotta ask , does the Wheel Detector , Blink first and then (once the train is going the proper speed) maintains a steady lunar white , or does it maintain a steady light first and then blink?


Anyways stay tuned!

Here's a video : The WD is the Blinking white light

Lo - V Entering Nevins Street Layup from Atlantic Ave

They are placed at switch points and Yards/layups . They measure the trains speed and bring it to a halt if you exceed that speed.

Here's a good definition from Subchat:

"If active, the first light attached to the WD sign will be solid, which is a warning to the T/O that you're entering an active WD area.

A bit further up will be a sign specifying the speed for the area, like "WD-20". The light beyond this sign, which was previously off, will start to flash as a warning that it's currently calculating your speed. If you're doing more than 20 MPH, it will continue flashing, and eventually trip your train. If you're maintaining 20 MPH or less, the flashing will soon turn solid, to let you know you're in the clear for now."  If you speed up before the "WD End" sign , they you're train will be tripped , making it more harsh then a Timer signal.
 


I'll try and post a video of it in action in openbve later

For the F train starting at Avenue X that would be really cool if we could start from the yard tracks... same for the route that startes from King Highway. Start the train from the Ave. X yard tracks, merge onto the express track and go to Kings Highway, then start taking in passengers there and then switch to the local track

Or just keep going Express, since almost that is the program of the entire route. But it would be nice to see a start in a yard. I know you guys can build yards, I like the small scale one that was on the (Q).
