High Trees Junction - Signal Surgery


PaternosterRow

Just an update after some much needed correction to the signals.  Many thanks to Dave for pointing out my glaring error in having the signal arms the wrong way around!  Despite having built loads of schemes, read numerous books about the railways and pouring over thousands of prototype pictures I am still prone to making embarrassing mistakes from time to time.  But that's what great about being a member of RMWeb - always loads of help and objective advice from my fellow modellers.   It also has to be said that in all my time as a member I've never once felt belittled, overly criticized or admonished by anyone.  so much appreciation and thanks to all those who have offered advice or spotted mistakes down the years.

 Dave also pointed out that it would be better to have LMS type signals instead of LNWR (as above) during the HST era and I might actually order some of these and make them up.  For now I'm just happy that they are the right way around.

Looking much better, Mike, but don't forget my comment that " rear of arms are white with black stripe for home signal and white with black chevron for distant signal".

Thanks, David.  Haven’t forgotten, just got to pop down to craft shop and get a tin of white.  Just wanted to see how they looked the right way round.  Cheers again for the guidance.

That was quick work Mike. Now you just need to re-do the tracks, you seem to have forgotten that they should be the other way round.

Ah, the ups and downs of model Railway life.
