There's alot to be learned about RR signal placement on both real & model RRs. Basically signals are needed on both sides of siding & branchline switches. Depending on The RR they could be needed for leaving spurs.
See the attached image for signal locations. Only did sidings as don't know what the spurs are being used for (branchline or industry). The double signals before sidings indicate two signal heads for color over color signals like Red over Green (taking diverging route). The two signals "inside" the siding are two signals w/ each is to the right of the track so the engineer knows which track it's for. (forgot to put the two signals on left end of bottom siding)
