    Just to expand on this topic some more from a friendly Train Driver... Approach Controlled Signal: For a moderatly slow diverging route the signal will be a single yellow with the feather and as the train gets closer to the signal is would clear to a less restrictive aspect (double yellow or green with feather) if the track circuits are clear in the sections in front of course. Approach Released Signal: For a very slow diverging route the signal will remain at danger and as the train gets closer to the signal is would clear to a less restrictive aspect (yellow, double yellow or green with feather) if the track circuits are clear in the sections in front.

    One of the tips that Roger gave me before I took over the business was the same thing. Blue the hole with blu tack and push ballest into the blu tack for a seamless finsih ;-) Matt
  4. Absolute Aspects
    One tip I found out the hard way with ballesting Pete is to put a bit of blue tack over the hole with the connector in it. I had to rip one out once because i got some PVA glue in it, silly mistake, but very easy when you are wanting to get it all done.

    Thank you all for your very kind comments, if you would like to keep up to date with whats going on with our news and products we have recently launched our Facebook page, so please take a look and become a fan. Matt PS, can't wait to see them up and running on the layout Pete...

    Also thank you to everyone who has commented on this post. To answer your question D869 - Andy: On those particular signals there are 2 holes for screws at the ends of the PCBs which are used to screw up into the underside of the baseboard. Usually the connector on the PCB is a lot longer and we supply extra connectors, like the ones featured above to allow fitting to thicker baseboards. But due to Pete using a box file he asked for the smallest connection as he was limited on space.

    Thank you Pete for your wonderful comments, it's nice to know that all the time and effort that has gone into our packaging is being appriciated. It's hard to believe that we have only been in business 14 months now. I think the height is looking perfect on them Pete, you made the right decision there. As a Driver for a well known Freight Operation Company I see many London stations with the reduced height signals due to visability issues, I believe you could base your layout on most Surburban stations and they still would fit the job. Once again, very plased that you are happy with them. Regards, Matt

    Missing the roof boards off the Driving Motor Coaches on the Brighton Belle, anyone else had this problem?

  10. Absolute Aspects

    Sorry we haven't posted on RMWeb for a while, the business has kicked off more than we could have ever hoped for, which means every spare minuet is spent making signals. How is everyone else doing?

      Best of luck. I was a customer with Roger Murray from the beginning, and I've no doubt I'll be a customer with you in due course.

      Thank you Gallows. I started off as a customer of Roger's, went to him a couple of years ago and was so impressed I went back last year and purchased the business (after Roger had of course checked my soldering skills etc. to make sure I was up to the same standard).

       

      I look forward to recieving your order :)

      Looking good, and will definitely be ordering some once the layout is under construction - and, of course, I've worked out what I need!

    3. Absolute Aspects

      Absolute Aspects

      Thanks Tase, glad you like it, I will look forward to your order. The website is very secure, but i'm not 100% sure on what we are using etc. So I have sent an e-mail to my website designer (who is also setting up a timetable for regular updates on the sercurity side) to answer your question. I will post it via this status update when I recieve it.

       

      Thank you as well Cromptonnut, I hope to speak to you soon about your order.

      lol, thats why i'm putting in the extra work now cromptonnut. We were going to have just an order form system when you had to tell us what you want and we would have to find out what you actually meant. We have put some extra funds (and time) into going for the shopping cart 'click and buy' option which will make everything a lot easier for all parties involved. I have to say it's shaping up rather well, but it is taking a lot of time...

    3. Absolute Aspects

      Absolute Aspects

      On the plus side, it's nice to know that people are planning to use the website...

    4. Absolute Aspects

      Absolute Aspects

      Well the N and 00 Guage items have all been put onto the website, just the 0 Gauge to go. At this rate the website might be up and running next week :)

      That is worse looking than the class 70, and that has grown on . Letts see no not yet. and it never will.

    3. Absolute Aspects

      Absolute Aspects

      lol, I quite like it. At least it has 'some' curves compared to the 70, would be nicer if it was slightly more traditional (BR Loco wise).

    4. Absolute Aspects

      Absolute Aspects

      lol, would agree with you there Max... And yes Tony, can see the big boys frighting over this one...

  25. Absolute Aspects

    Seeing as the Stafford show has got a banner on RMWeb, I would just like to say that I am going to go and help operate Pendennis which I am currently fitting out with our signals. So anyone who wants to come have a chat, you are more than welcome to. Matt :)

      See you there Matt. We will have Airthrey Park there in full on ScotRail Large Logo blue 1985 era...plenty of noise too.

      Good news, I would love to have a good old look at that one...
