Not much call for this but this was asked on the other forum. On a loop divided into blocks,a train immediately ahead would be a red signal. A train 2 blocks ahead would be a yellow signal. If both blocks ahead are unoccupied a green signal. If a 3pdt relay is used,shown in the diagram on each block, a complete block system can me made with a block signal for each block. For just one signal a SPDT and DPDT relay is needed. The coil circuit is not shown and is made by the insulated rail method. See my post "How to use relays for 3 rail block detection" for that wiring.
Here is the circuit in operation. Relay 3 is 2 blocks ahead,relay 2 is one block ahead of the signal on block 1. The train is moving in the direction from 1 to 2 to 3 etc.
