Sure

Sorry, I have been looking more detailed and they need to be redone. But the ideas are good and I keep them. A wonderful task for the days between christmas and sylvester.

And to the devs I repeat: It would be absolutely a great user experience to see all sections of a block highlighted or so. (OT: The whole help-layer needs some rewrite, for example the arrows for the inserters are over other important info of assemblies etc. Do that all together, when it is really clear, what is needed)

Small optimization tips or notes:
-Crossing 2 tracks. Leave enough room between 2 parallel tracks for signals of third track crossing the first two. So blocks of parallel tracks don't merge.
-Because trains reserve the next block they are planning to go. Small "Buffer" block between mainline and side branch can minize the how far side branch can reserve the mainline.
