RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted December 27, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2019 I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Thanks to the generosity of @BenL and the skill of @toboldlygo I now have another clerestory in wartime brown to mix my rakes up a bit with. Shapeway bogies again and fitted with Kadee No. 18s. Worsley Works do an etch for another diagram that fits this model too so watch this space.

Is that normal or is it a preservation-era affectation? Having been looking for something else, I stumbled upon a location with a (G)WR banner and then thought of other ways to determine an answer. The case for the prosecution(!) is as follows: GWR 1936 General Appendix has colour drawings of signals. Semaphore and colour light running signals are shown with finials but banners are not. Photographic evidence comes from Wolverhampton where there was a banner on the Up Main just prior to Wednesfield Road Bridge. It can be seen in a photo on disused stations taken outside North Box in 1967 (not conclusive on its own) and also in Rail Centres Wolverhampton (p104). Therefore I am happy to state that a (G)WR banner would not have had a finial. Case rests M’lud. Paul. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted December 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2019 Sorry all. I was a bit slow on the uptake. I have the book GW Signals by Vaughan (OPC) In it there is a photograph and an official drawing of a banner repeater which confirm the absence of a finial. The post supprts under the signal, not behind it so does not even extend to a height where a finial could be added 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Dr Creasy have Burgh Island in his parish? Like the good Dr. MacLaren on the little isle of Great Todday, making home visits to make sure his patients got their whisky and baccy, to help them through the bleak midwinter.

In the waiting room in South Brent Health Centre, prior to the recent refurbishment a couple of years ago, there used to hang a large Ordnance Survey 2 1/2 inches to the mile map of the Brent area on the wall, nicely framed, with the surrounding district covered by the doctors and medical staff outlined in ink. Regrettably (or perhaps fortunately for the rest of us), they didn't cover Burgh Island! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
