Adding a Speedpost for new track speed?

[JSMR]

I'm not talking a literal speed post object, but the little white square speed thingies. Can I just add one anywhere I like? Flip it the right way, change the speed to whatever I like, whether for freight or passenger or both?

Is there a catch I'm not seeing or its just a matter of plonking one where I like?

for the most part yes, but you need to make sure you don't have conflicting speed posts. if you put a new speed post at the beginning of a branch or siding and there is already and existing one on that section facing the opposite direction (the arrow/pyramid) with a different speed listed this will cause undesired behavior. also make sure you place an opposing speed post at the same spot with the desired track speed going the other direction.

(hint: you can place them like shown by clicking twice on the placement then hit "Flip" on the left panel to reverse the second placed speedpost)

Ok thanks for the help. I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.
