Western Star 622 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) The (extract from a) photo in this post came via Chris Brown (fellow S7 modeller)... with the question "who made it?". I passed the photo to Ian Pope (yet to be converted to the broader gauge) who was able to put a name to the maker's plate on the base - McKenzie and Holland. A search of the net, using the string "McKenzie Holland ground signal" produced some images of equipment with similar characteristics although none was an exact match (closest being an exhibit at Ingrow, K&WVR). When was this type of signal introduced? Does it feature in a catalogue of signalling components?How does the operation of the pull wire lead to rotation of the lamp case? Anyone know of a drawing suitable for making a few 7mm examples? thank you, Graham Edited March 20, 2018 by Western Star Link to post Share on other sites

Western Star 622 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Remiss of me to omit the date of the photo, thought to be just before the Henley-in-Arden station opened circa 1893. Link to post Share on other sites
TheSignalEngineer 11,791 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) There is a similar signal in use outside the signalbox at Levisham on the North York Moors. Will see if I can find my pictures of it. Edited March 20, 2018 by TheSignalEngineer Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisbr 92 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Many thanks for all the replies and info so far Gents, yet again RMWeb comes up trumps. Now all I need to do is find time to build the model.. Link to post Share on other sites
TheSignalEngineer 11,791 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) The signal at Levisham. Not the same as the one in the OP but the same principle. Photo C E Steele 2014. When the signal rotates the green side shows towards the driver. The rear of the lamp case is painted white. Edited March 20, 2018 by TheSignalEngineer 4 Link to post Share on other sites
KeithHC 432 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 No help on a drawing but another photo. Check out the Bluebell Railway museum website photo archive. There is a picture of one at Rowfant on the LB&SCR. Keith Link to post Share on other sites
PaulG 442 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Have you looked at the Wizard Models web site they do a 7mm M&H ground signal? Paul Link to post Share on other sites

Portchullin Tatty 1,713 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Below is an extract from a MacKenzie & Holland catalogue. Although the original of these are obviously a scale drawing, there is not scale on the drawing I have. There were variants of different heights, where the post was extended vertically. Wizard do a 4mm and 7mm version of this 2 Link to post Share on other sites
micknich2003 10,202 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Saxby, not McK&H, supplied the Brighton's signalling. I too would normally associate S&F with "The Brighton", but M&H did do some work. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
