signaller Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I trust it is acceptable to post this here. It is with much regret that due to age/health problems I have to part with all my signalling control panels, parts, and components. I would like some financial return, however my main concern is that it all goes to someone who will continue with it and use it. It is difficult to put a price on it all as there is a lot, so it will need to be negotiated, hence it is not in the classifieds. Ex-demonstration model railway NX Signalling Panel. Very near to the prototype. Unique, I have never seen another one! This is basically a box of switches, led's and displays. I have included the train describer pcb's , push button control pcb's, point indicator pcb's and multi pin connectors. I cannot offer ANY technical assistance with this as the designer has now passed away. However some limited diagrams are included. The buyer will need the expertise to wire it all together. It is the control panel and will need relays or software to make it all happen. Comes in a purpose built wooden case for storage and transport. There is also another panel, two multi aspect signal simulators, a large Krone patch panel and cable as well as many relays and components. For anyone contemplating a medium to large multi wire layout it will all be very useful. For further information and pictures please get in touch. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Beautiful (and reminds me of a few signal boxes where I was an ASM and SM in Kent) but I do not have the expertise to do anything with this. I just wondered if it was designed by Roger Murray (with his name on the fascia) or were these just his components and the design was by someone else? If it was by Roger, then perhaps some more info might be gleaned from Absolute Aspects, who took over his company, and may have kept records for this. Might just increase its attraction to someone? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
signaller Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hello Mike, I am Roger Murray. Thank you for your kind words. Absolute aspects only took on the signal production side of my business. I kept the Panels. The electronics were designed by my friend Bob Stark, sadly no longer with us. I am getting on now and not in a position to do anything with all this. I am hoping someone will. Some more pictures attached. All the best. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Wow! I did not know we had the legend that is Roger Murray on here!! I still have one of your signals, but the rest are from since it became AA. What a fantastic legacy you have given the hobby. Very best wishes, and here's hoping someone will buy this and give it the attention it deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 That looks fantastic, only hope my panel will come out looking that good! Was it interlocked prototypically, if so, how? Regards, Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
signaller Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thank you for your kind words Simon. Yes the panels were set up for route setting, controlling points and signals as the prototype but without the safety features. This of course is just the panel the route setting and control of points and signals was done by relays and other electronics. After the entry and exit buttons were pressed, this operated a route relay and prevented any conflicting route being set. The route relay lit the route on the panel and set the points and signals. The signals were reset by track circuits but the route and points remained set until the route was released manually. However it could be arranged to be reset by the track circuits if required. Hope all that makes sense and answers the question for you. All the best Roger Murray 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
signaller Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 365 Views and no Takers! What else can I do? As I said my health is not good. I do not want my wife to have to deal with all this. I do not want to put it in landfill either! Any workable suggestions would be most acceptable. All the Best Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
signaller Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I really wanted to see the lot to go to one person as it is all connected in some way. However I have decided that the only way is to split the items up. I shall be listing the following on Ebay, all at 99p start and no reserve. Hopefully that will work. I doubt it will all go to the right person this way but I have no choice, I have tried my best. It is all very heavy so shipping will be high. Panel one. Panel two. Simulators x two. Relay sets. Relays and relay mountings. Krone cabinet and parts. Components. Roger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted July 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2019 Only just come across this. Superb engineering, shame it was split up tho. Does anyone know where these kind of small square or circular push-to-make buttons, with printable inserts can be acquired? I’ve been looking over electronic places and eBay for months and not come up with anything similar. Rich 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
