The steam illuminations at the Watercress Line has the station PA systems linked to the on-board one this year, so that the entertainment can be carried through. Which meant that it played that song every time a train arrived yesterday... Merry Christmas to you and Miss R! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Merry Christmas Rob and thanks for a very entertaining and informative thread this year. I am hoping that in January work will recommence on building the NMGS and there will be something to look at apart from my "wacky races" rolling stock kit conversions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted December 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2021 Cordial Christmas Felicitations. This afternoon I have been working, relentlessly hacking away several inches of ground, in order to install a weighbridge plate on the layout. Electric rotary and hand tools were used. I am now recovering, having fortified myself with a herbal tea. 5 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted December 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2021 Happy Christmas Rob and also LRRH -expert ballaster. Thank you for your sharing your journey, I’ve learnt lots, but I’ve been lacking drive to apply it of late. It’s hard to keep up with the speed of traffic here, but you’ve just been upstaged by the Accurascale Manor thread in terms of quantity, just over two photos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I have been going through a dry run with the parts of those Ratio signals and come across a bit of a snag. Nowhere in the instructions does it mention how to create a drive mechanism for the bracket signals. There's a number of angled quadrants supplied on the sprues and a pivot hole cast into the brackets, but no information e how to take the drive to ground level. Has anyone else been here? I've tried a search or two but no luck so far. The limit of the diagrams. image lost.

KNP Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I had the same problem but I luckily had a book on GW signalling with pictures and drawings. I have just been up to the layout and taken this picture of my bracket signal. Hopefully this will help, if not give us a shout and I will see what I can do…. 4 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks Kevin, much appreciated, that's pretty much how I thought it might be done, that tubular post signal setup is quite logical. I'm going to have an internet search for pictures of the square post type to try and make sense of the pivot positions on the curved brackets, they seem less logical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted December 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I dont know if this is any help I know there is only one arm but you can see how it crosses the bracket. Don I presume it pivots in the middle. it looks like balance weight down rod pulled down arm across bracket pivots rod at other end lifts pushing up the signal arm PS merry christmas and all the best for next year to you and miss hood.
