There is a way, but you have to know how the edit the .tdb file. Try searching the forums, you might be able to find it.

its in your Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/Routes/--NAME OF ROUTE-- folder. Look for the one with the ending .tdb and open it with wordpad.-Dave

RE: Manual Switches

HiWhat's the matter with using Explore Route? In this mode, all signals are (almost) always Green and all switches can be controlled (except for any that have no manual mode).It's up to your RTC to know where you are and tell you what colors the signals you see are displaying.Very much safer than tinkering with database files.GaryG
