James Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I believe these notices are going to be issued to all signal boxes soon - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2012 Surely Keep Calm and Send 7-5-5 (or 5-5-7) ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, my recollection of bellcodes - and loads of other stuff! - is a bit dim, but I think it's generally better than 2-5-5! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have three signalboxes and the most requested item that nearly all the signallers who visit say they would like me to install in their box is the 'off' switch. One ordinary switch turns on the power in one box that causes a cascade of events that causes the whole system to liven up within a few seconds. Turning this switch off causes the whole thing to shut down. Dead handy when you want a lunch break eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted September 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2012 About 20p. That's inflation for you, it was about 17p in my day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Near enough 17p. I remember on or about "D Day" a pint went from "Two Bob" to ten of the new fangled pence, we have been ripped off ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In my university bar on that day the pint went from 2/6d to 12p - the only time beer's gone down! (in price) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 James, why at Gylberdyke, do you need to keep calm and send 3-5? Years ago, I spent six years there, it was then still "Four Roads" and nothing exciting ever happened. In the "New Century" am I missing something? Best Wishes, and Get that Distant Off, Mick. PS, how is your model of Botanic box comming on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2012 And the Yank wants to know: What's 3-5 mean in bell code? A very easy one to remember - 3-5 is the cancelling signal as you'll no doubt have found by now from Ian's link, remember it as 'Not going' (3 letters, then 5). Compared to that the 'Last train incorrectly described' bell signal is 5-3, you remember that one as 'wrong one' (5 letters, then 3); both were covered by, e.g, the old AB Regulation 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
