Steve,
Direction sensors are required for signal heads/SSL.
Direction sensors are optional for signal masts and SML. ?From my point of view, they are generally used to implement APB (absolute permissive block) signaling.
When you generate SML based sections, the SML and Section are related. ?Transits can start or end with a block based section (such as leaving a yard), but the other sections have to be SML based sections. ?This is why your block based section for Central causes the SML to display Stop when allocated. ?The "linkage" is missing.

Dave,
?
Some additional information...
?
I know you advised making each block a separate section. I originally did that but couldn't understand how to create the direction sensors so I deleted and went back to auto-generated.
?
Auto-gen combines blocks based on my mast and there's no way to create a mast for the next block since it's attached to the turnout.
?
So I manually created a separate section with just Central block.
