Where will the other two outings be to please?

The signal building continues:-

Apologies if this has already been asked but what servos do you use?

 

A busy moment at Bournemouth West as MN No.35028 Clan Line arrives with an ex Waterloo train, whilst Standard 4MT No. 75001 heads for Bath on the S&D line.

Apologies if you've already explained this somewhere else in this thread but are the signals completely scratchbuilt or have you used some commercially available parts?

Awful quality frame grabs of train arriving from York and then being propelled back into the carriage sidings by a Hall (the train engine).

I have the SR Engine Workings book. It does cover Bournemouth shed diagrams but it's unclear if it covers all of them.

 

A better source of operational material is "BR Operating History - SR Part 3" by Xpress Books. There are several paras devoted to ECS pilot work at Bomo W. ECS was generally propelled into the station by either the pilot or the train engine; heavy trains were drawn in by the pilot which would then provide banking assistance to the platform end. For departing ECS, propelling stock was forbidden so the M7 pilot would attach to the rear and draw up to 12 ECS (the station limit), with assistance from the train engine as far as the platform end. 

It may have been forbidden but I have photographic evidence that appears to show it did. For example at about 2 mins into Memories Of The Somerset And Dorset by Branchline Video, 2P 40563 can be seen backing out a 3 coach Bullied set towards the carriage sidings.
