[Mod 0.11.x] Moving Block Signals

This is a small mod to add moving block signals to factorio. When this mod is enabled trains will drag a small purple signal behind them allowing trains to get closer together. You still need to place signal manually on junctions but this mod should handle the rest of the signals. This style of signal does not support doubled headed trains so you will still need to use standard signal on singles line sections.
I am sure there are bugs so post them when you find them and i'll try to fix them. I've not tested mod this with multiplier I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work

Be careful. this is mostly me messing around and seeing if the game would handle it. I found that too many trains causes the game to grind to a halt. It is pretty cool to watch though.

@ James, how many trains did you get it to work on till the game started to grind.

Using this on a map with 30 trains and a large network knocks 10 to 15 fps off the game. So it is pretty unusable on medium to large train networks.
