Take it slowly and draw a sketch to help.  Also follow the link below and click on the signalbox name/photo to get its detail up and you will find the 'box diagrams available (in photographic form)

I hadn't come across that site before - thanks for the link Mike.

So the cast iron GWR 'Penzance Station Signal Box' cast iron sign has been replaced with PZ.  Well tht's progress for you!

The locals can't pronounce that much - it's always "Pee-Zed" ;)

Mike - subject to Craig confirming this (it's been a while since I interested myself in the detail here), I suspect that Roskear will ask 'Line Clear' of St Erth as soon as he/she gets 'Train Entering Section' from Truro, unless there's already one in the section between Roskear and St Erth.

 

Similarly, I would have thought that Truro would give 'Train Entering Section' to Roskear as soon as the train was departing Truro station, unless the section from Baldhu IBS to Roskear was already occupied, in which case a rapid series of bells would ensue as soon as the first train had passed clear of the Down line clearing point at Roskear.

Correct Tim! :-)
