Reply To: Original non-deluxe game
I believe the one way signals were the key change introduced by TTD (well, alongside the new scenery types like “Arctic”, and the new names for all the vehicles).
It does rather restrict your ability to create the really elaborate networks you can build in TTD! It’s been… literally more than 25 years since I played non-deluxe (THE HORROR) but I seem to remember you either just had to have a single train per track, or run two tracks in parallel but with multiple passing points along the way (trains can use these to turn around if they end up going completely the wrong way for whatever reason).
