Marcus 37 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Andy, if the railway severed the ownership of land and access to it for that owner was denied by the construction of the railway, the railway company would be required to either pay compensation or provide an accommodation work. If that comprised provide a level crossing then it would be a private crossing, not available to the public at large, and crossing gates to be opened and closed by the owner would suffice. There would be no need of a crossing keeper, signals or signal box. There might however have been a telephone to contact a box about traffic. A "W" sign would be at trackside some short distance away. The same would apply to a public footpath. If there was a public right of way for vehicular traffic then the customary rules would apply. Not sure on this one, so you might be able to clarify, did the GWR use "SW" (Sound Whistle) on their warning boards approaching crossings. The reason I ask as when I first started on the railway there was an original cast SW board on The North Warwick's line approaching Bearley Junction. This obviously being the old GWR route from Birmingham Snow Hill to Cheltenham I was just curious. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted March 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2017 Marcus, You're absolutely right. GWR signs were the rectangular cast metal 'SW'. When I started in '75 they were all over the WR and other ex GW lines. Edicts from above more recently have seen most of them removed and replaced with the round W board. I know which I think looks best! Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Andy, Which ballast are you using please, particularly the colour? Many thanks, Dave Thanks Dave, It;s a 50/50 mix of Woodlands Scenic's Fine Light Brown and Fine Buff, I think the numbers are B72 and B73 from memory mate. EDIT = To say that for the Running Line I will probably use 75% Fine Buff and only 25% Fine Light Brown but I need to try some first, like the area to the side of the Signal Box.
