Moving Block signalling system

Hi,

I'm pretty new to the game, so excuse me for being dumb :D

I have the following setup in my main game, just bigger:



How can I use the moving block beacons to have a line from each of the top left stations to the bottom right station? I have tried to just place them according to the max allowed distance (2000m) on each "arm", but that usually causes two issues:

1) If a train reserves the path to the bottom right station, all other trains wait for clearance - I would have thought they would continue until the last beacon before crossing the reserved track.

2) Eventually they do move when the train has passed the crossing point, but this quickly ends up in a deadlock.

I'm a bit at a loss. Or maybe this is not a good signalling type for this kind of layout? Should I use a different one?


EDIT: I think I got something working pretty well. Basically everywhere two lines meet I restart the signalling by placing an end-of-signaling sign directly followed by the next moving block beacon. Probably not the best solution but it seem to work pretty well currently.
