Hi. Would it be possible to make it so we can set user locked switches to "locked" in the editor on switches that are electric locked so that they will already be "locked" when you start a new sim?

It would be possible, probably similar to setting default state introduced a little while ago

This feature has now been implemented and will be available in 5.7. The similar feature "default state of switches", available since 5.1, has also been fine tuned, e.g. inclusion in undo/redo scheme and the interaction with route testing.

Sounds good. Not sure if you thought about this, and I actually thought about this for signals running time as well, but I was thinking that it should take 3 to 5 minutes to "unlock" them as the purpose of them is to allow time in case there is an approaching train. Just a thought.
