Scenario for newcomer

First time player there
I did play tutorial scenario. It's explains a lot of basics with planes, ships, lorries.
Will you recommend any scenario for a newbie to learn trains and signals?
Thank you

You should probaby check out Master Hellish on youtube. He has loads of tutorials on various topics.

Signals is pretty simple at a basic lvl. They divide the track into sectors and only one train at a time is allowed in each sector the signals automatically control this.

As above Master Hellish is the place to go for great tutorial videos. Aside from that just make 64x64 maps and learn the game that way.

The game looks complicated but the basics are really simple to learn.

I know Master Hellish - I do try to play because of him.
Not only complicated, a lot confusing and hostile for a new player as well.
For half an hour I try to add additional car to the train. No luck. I do order for a train to go to the depot. Same moment train enters a depot, it runs away. How do I order for train to stay in the depot? Confused...........

Should just click on the depot symbol in the trains box and it should stay. Maybe make sure youre not accelerating time as you do it.

It could be weird bug. I did quit and reload game and trains stay in the depot until I release them.
1 more question:
How do I take goods from train to trucks for final delivery? Is there in the game something like warehouse to exchange goods between different transports?

I'm no expert as I've only just started playing myself.

I know you can link a port and a station by holding ctrl as you place it. Then a menu pops up with all stations within its coverage asking which one you want to link the port to. Maybe that works with stations and truck depots. I'll have to try it out.
