Good man. Something I always recommend (much to the amusement of others)

I've posted a very short video clip on YouTube at https://youtu.be/oj-AnbeDfqw?si=4ebTe1SZHXe5aMMy
It shows that I've been working to complete the capability for trains to cancel a signal after they have passed.
On my layout, The signals are set by sensing the points being activated. A Hall effect sensor then lies in the track just after the relevant signal and resets the signal to danger after a short pause by sensing a magnet under the last coach or the guard's van. Took a while to do, but I'm there at last!

Setting CVs on locos as the line has a speed limit of 60mph if it really existed, only done my 7 4Fs as it's too hot in the layout room - 38°C. :sweat: 
S&D lives on - sort of!
