31A S&T
Bored with having non-working (mainly colour light) signals, coincidentally I was clearing out a kitchen cupboard and came across a large number of chopsticks! They must have been bought (or donated) in a fit of optimism many years ago as I'd never been able to use them for eating food, but looked at in a new light they represented a supply of model railway timber, not dissimilar to signal posts. Presumably they're made from bamboo; I set about whittling one using a variety of tools to see what
A while ago I put this picture on my Finsbury Square layout thread. It's a bit of a cluttered view, but it shows a cardboard cutout mock up of the semaphore signal I intended to build, to replace the non working colour light at the end of Platform 4. The arms on the taller, right hand doll would read from Platform 4 to the Down Slow (upper arm) and from platform 4 to the Down Fast (lower arm). The miniature arm on the left hand doll applies for movements towards the goods yard, either Siding
