Richard Pike Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Signalling help needed with my new layout, I will start a thread under layouts to give a full description of the layout once more progress as been made. The layout is based on Westhouses Stabling point, for those who can remeber it. Westhouses closed in the mid 80's but my scenario is that Network Rail have re laid Blackwell sidings as a Infrastructure yard and rebuilt Westhouses as a maintenace depot and fuelling point for loco's working engineering trains. I have attached a track plan, showing the modelled area, along with the track plan outside this area to help understand the signalling. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 13, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2010 Is the chord heading up the page able to regain the correct line, able to use the wrong line for a while, does the bi-drectiional loop extend to this connection and beyond, or is it for arrivals only ?

Richard Pike Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 The North bound cord joins the Bi directional goods, which then would re join the Up main with a cross over to connect the Down main, which basically allows arrivals and departures from either direction. Sorry I should have drawn that, the original Prototype had a Dual Up / Down goods up until about 1970 when it was retracked to a single arrangement similar to my plan.

Richard Pike Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Can anyone help me with Junction signals, is there any hard and fast rule as to when a junction is controlled by a "Feather" or a dedicated lamp assembly. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18B Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, I have the signalling plans from pre Triangle days upto todays EMSC, Interesting that you should be doing the shed in Network Rails day, Are you keeping Blackwell East and the gantry over the three roads? Where abouts are you? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 9, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2010 Do you want it signalling as per the photos - mostly semaphore - or signalling with colour lights, controlled locally from the box (mechanical ground signals) or full colour lights controlled from a power box ?

Richard Pike Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks everyone. Full colour light from a Power Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 10, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2010 My thoughts Some of the signals might not be required but I'm not sure of the overall size of your layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18B Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's all subjective, but perhaps a sub on the signal with a feather on the Network Rail Marshaling yard for loco's coming from the North Curve over the crossover and back onto the south curve, before setting back again onto the headshunt for the depot. A sub on the Bi-di mainline signal in order to change ends and take the south curve for the depot. If you;re modelling the line as it is today, all the lines have been bi-directionally signalled with LED type signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Many thanks Mr Beast, thats certainly got me going in the right direction. Question... The two red fixed signals at the yard / depot access, where can I get models of these from, I can't find any single aspect lights in the Eckon range and I understand Roger Murray is no longer producing .

Roger Murray is alive and well and still making signals, for a while anyway. All the best Roger Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
