I came up with another solution for the two common color variants issue, without
having four complete/shortcuts:
Create the shortcuts without the baseplate, as the other parts share the same
color. (all blue or all red)
Thus having three overall parts:
x304 Train Signal Baseplate
x317c01 Train Signal Stop (Shortcut)
x317c02 Train Signal Proceed (Shortcut)
The Shortcuts contain:
x308 ~Train Signal Base (fixed white/red colors)
x316 ~Train Signal Lever (main color)
x317 ~Train Signal Pole Half (main color)
x318 Train Signal Plate (main color)
s\317s01 ~Train Signal Metal Bar (metal color)
The shortcuts share the same origin as the baseplate.
As the shortcuts don't include the baseplate anymore, I used the partnumber for
the half pole als the partnumber for the shortcuts.
Now anyone can create all four variants (two color schemes, both stop and
proceed) very easy.
How about this solution?
Niels
