In real life it is often called a buffer stop. The bumper was particularly useful in the early days before trains would brake automatically to avoid going off the end of the tracks [verification needed]. text/html 2022-05-31T21:17:14+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Demo Signal https://advtrains.de/wiki/doku.php?id=usage:nodes:demo_signal&rev=1654031834&do=diff Demo Signal The Demo Signal has a debated purpose and use. Some people say it's used for testing, and should not be used in normal advtrains procedures. Others say it's good as a signal embedded into the track. A normal usecase in normal advtrains is that of a futuristic monorail. Signals hidden inside the support columns can give the illusion that the trains control themselves of their own accord. text/html 2022-08-09T18:54:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Ks Signs https://advtrains.de/wiki/doku.php?id=usage:nodes:ks_sign&rev=1660071240&do=diff Ks Signs NOTE: Signal signs have been massively reworked by the new-ks branch, and the documentation on this page no longer reflects the status of signal signs in advtrains.

This will place the slope, and take the appropriate number of slopes away from your inventory.
