as far as im aware in real life this light is illuminated if the entrance is safe to send a train into (ie unoccupied), the sim manual details it stays illuminated if 120m of space is available

should it delluminate when a train leaves the shed as the siding isnt clear until the train has passed beyond the entrance?

In real life there's a light switch beside the shed which the shunters turn on and off depending on whether they want to allow trains in or not.

This seemed a reasonable interpretation of "we're happy to accept another train".

It's not connected to track circuits or anything else like that, and I doubt the shunters turned it off as trains were leaving then on when they cleared the signal!
