Mark Pelham Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Evening All! I am planning the signalling for my layout Bridgtown (see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/56229-bridgtown/) where I think I will be needing stencil indicators to access a Steel Transfer terminal from multiple roads and an additional siding from one of those roads. I was planning on using "SDG" for the transfer terminal until I remembered the extra siding as a second route, which I think would more appropriately use the "SDG" legend. Is there a standard for the legends that can be displayed and if so which would be the correct legend for which route? Would "YD" be a suitable alternative to indicate Yard for the transfer terminal? Thanks in advance, Mark (Confused of Crawley Down!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There is no fixed rule, it probably depends on the signaling engineer who drew up the plans! The recent signalling schemes seem to have single letters, examples are A- arrivals S- sidings E- engineers Y- yard R- reception B- branch X- facing road towards limit of shunt U- up D- Down Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Pelham Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi Mark, My layout will be based around 2003-2005, would the single letters be appropriate or should I stick with "YD" and "SDG"? Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted October 22, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ipswich was resignalled in the 80s with single letter stencils Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Pelham Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Whatever you do, who is going to know the difference anyway ? Dennis Dennis - Erm, I will! Thanks Andi, that could be useful as it would allow me to fit two stencils side-by-side within the width of a signal head. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted October 22, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2013 Just about visible in this pic, the stencil can display 1,2,3&L. Sorry about the rancid heap waiting the road... Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
