    This controller is NOT man enough for O gauge on its own - A booster station will be required! :-(

    Are you referring to the 'Lindbergs' on Merseyside?..... They looked like the GEC compartment units! :-)

    There were two sidings on the down side on the eastern side of the level crossing opposite the box. They formerly gave access into a goods shed - The Chacewater cement train sometimes detached a few 'Vanfits' there! :-)

    Bullhead is much quicker and easier to change in an emergency! :-)

    HAXBY?......Well I never. - My daughter lives only a couple of miles from there - Here's hoping you will allow me to see my old station in miniature once you're settled in! :-)

    Both distants would have separate slotting mechanisms worked by a combination of the main arm position and separate levers at Earls Court Jcn! :-)

    For the northbound signals next to the footbridge, the distant signals are Kensington North's down inner distants, which are on the same posts as the Kensington South's down starters - The signals read as follows from left to right: Kensington South Down Platform to Down Platform Starter with Kensington North's Down Platform Distant and subsidiary under it, Kensington South Down Platform Starter to Down Main with Kensington North Down Main Inner Distant and subsidiary under it, Kensington South Down Main Starter with Kensington North Down Inner Distant and subsidiary under it. There is a mid-platform facing connection from the Down Platform Line to the Down Main Line immediately ahead of the signals - With regards to the southbound signals next to Hammersmith Road Bridge, they read as follows: Up Main to Up Goods Line, Up Main Starting with Earls Court Jcn's Up Main Line Distant Below. On the right is Earls Court Jcn's Splitting Distant which reads to the LT's District Line into Earls Court itself - 'Hope this helps! :-)
