This video explores the vintage semaphore signals (Formsignale) of the German H/V signalling system and the special speed boards used on secondary lines (Nebenbahnen), while running passenger services and empty coach moves on the Niddertalbahn in the 1990ies.

Full Prep Work scenario, a short part of a RB (Regionalbahn) service from Bad Vilbel to Gronau and part of the Hugging Trees scenario on a DB Baureihe 628.2/928.2 diesel multiple unit in TSG's exceptionally well done Niddertalbahn DLC for Dovetail Games' Train Sim World 3, with a short tutorial recapping the H/V signalling system (25:34), discussing its semaphore signals (36:10) and the different kind of speed boards (1:12:29).
