Terminal Options..

[Sam '43003' Tanner]

Here's one for you all.

 

I've tried to make some sense out of this, but what would be the general layout of the TPWS grids and AWS ramps at a terminus like the plan for "The Mall"?

 

Would there be a single "toast rack" before the signal or a couple..?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Sam.

Two grids next to each other at the foot of each of the platform starters (to stop a train if it starts away while the signals are red).

 

Nothing on the siding I think, as the points act as a trap. Certainly nothing if the exit is a ground signal.

 

Two small-size grids a short distance apart somewhere in each platform to enforce speed approaching the buffer stops.

 

No AWS anywhere on this plan unless the signal controlling entry to the platforms is on-scene, in which case it will have a fixed permanent magnet 200 yards on the non-station side and two more grids next to each other at the signal.

Thanks Edwin. Shame there's no need for the AWS ramps. I think they look good on a modern layout.
