FIY - The following existing JMRI mast definitions implement more than 30 aspects:
- CROR-2008 - 3A-Hi : 31 aspects - see .
- CROR-2008 - 3D-Hi : 31 aspetcts - see .
- CROR-2008 - 3-Hi: 31 aspects - see .
If one were to add duplicate aspects to reflect "Dark but would otherwise be displaying XXX" aspects as I have suggested for discussion purposes, it would double the count of aspects, and exceed the available number of DCC Extended Accessory Decoder aspect values.
I would not be surprised to find that one or more non-US signal system would have a mast which could display more than 32 aspects...
A few other existing JMRI signal mast definitions appear to implement more than 30 aspects but are named as "test" masts or appear to include images for multiple mast types where they would typically define only a single mast type per "appearance" file, so the actual aspect count is suspect.
