Right now I'm trying to get a small scale going and its not going well.
I have these branches at the loading place and the storage place and are connected by a single lane track.

The thing is I know its possible to do with 2 and have them do a loop, but thats now how I want it to go.
Their bigger and consume more time and would look messy branches if I where to hide them under a cave or something + resources...

How can I have one train leave at a time without hitting another on the mainway?
I tried to put some holding stations, 2 trains seemed to work ok (didn't stress it that much) but 3 was bad.
There were also dangerzones when the train would leave the branch and 2 trains could leave at the same time and hit eachother.

This is the closest thing to building something huge with trains I can get. (got to play with some model trains as a kid and got the urge)

The only way to do what you want i can imagine is the very complicated one
To Set It all up with Timers and just Count how long It takes the Train to be out of danger
Is a little Bit of working but have nothing better to Suggest sorry :/

Edit:
Found It enjoy understanding that :D

There are a ton of things, routing tables, signals, tickets. You can totally make sure a train doesn't enter a track if another train is on the track using signals and using tickets to route the various trains to different destinations based on color of train and what not.
