class156

I have a Heljan class 33, 34301 (D6506) and it has a 34 head code. I looked on smegonline which has been linked to for Southern head codes, but there are a few 34 head codes for different routes over the years. It is a bit disappointing that the Heljan blog that comes with the models, doesn't depict the route they chose the head code as. Anyone able to help? It appears the head codes can't be changed (correct me if wrong) I'd like to find a train to base the model on (ie get coaches/wagons for a train). I have gift vouchers for my local model shop to use. Thanks

Are there any examples of southern ground signals and if they differ in style like the main signals are with curved top and bottoms? It's just I'm getting ready to buy and install them now, but need to order ground ones for points in my main station.

I'll have a go at changing my semaphore signal to those light signals. I'll need to see what I require first. Thanks for the advice. Without pig ears seem to be the era I'm after. I'll also look at the other links that have been posted. I'll try do an update when I get round to doing the work. Thanks

Very useful info, especially the site to buy them, that can make them to a design. I'm just wanting to check, but I'm doing exactly the same here but the blue/grey period as that's my favourite livery. I'm also doing a Weymouth type tram track, harbour type track, with boat trains, water and buildings. I just love the trains and art deco buildings from that area of BR. I'm looking to replace all semaphore signals with coloured lights. My layout is based loosely on themes picked rom that period, so not any real location, though any signals around Weymouth, might help get it all looking like that area a little. Thanks
