Swanage signal

[longie]

I would like to model a signal similar to the bracket home shown in the picture. Does anyone know where I might information or drawings of this signal please.

Many thanks.

A Pictorial Record of Southern Railway Signals by G A Pryer has numerous drawings covering the various standard signal components used by the SR/BR(S), so you would not have much trouble producing your own drawing. It looks like a standard bracket on a rail post with a calling-on arm underneath. 

 

Numerous suppliers such as Wizard Models (MSE) provide most of the components you'd need.

Thanks very much I will have a look at those.

The lowest arm with the ring on it is not a Calling On arm but read to a goods line or siding in accordance with standard SR practice.

Indeed, the ringed arm read into the goods yard on the right.

 

The current Swanage Railway have a different version of that signal (seen here in 2009) and here the ringed arm reads into the run-round loop on the left.

I have some close-ups taken from up on the landing if required.

That would be great, thanks very much.

At long last I have nearly finished my signal. It has has taken a while but I am really pleased with the results. Just hand rails and ladder to do to finish!

Looks,nice, but two points:-

 

1. That style of subsidiary arm is essentially a WHITE arm with narrow red stripes along the edges, not a red arm with a narrow white stripe.

2. Don't forget the associated indicator box :-)
