    I know that is what they mean, but it is not what the words on the sign says! As a matter of interest, the bridge abutments are moving (there are tell tales across cracks above each abutment) and I would not want to put a 40t load on the bridge.

    Seen on a bridge over the Cotswold line near Stonesfield today: What is the point of telling point of telling passers by what the maximum weight of the bridge is? Actually, as the bridge deck is 19m long, 5m wide and about 0.5m thick, its weight is likely to be 60t or more!

    A picture of that signal taken in 1967, taken from the level crossing:

    I use these http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=GM500&style=&strType=&Mcode=Gaugemaster+GM500 on the Peco points in my fiddleyard to change polarity of the frog and the switch blades. These are the type for DC, avoid the GM500D variety, as these are for DCC and are wired differently. Can be worked with the same passing contact switch as drives the point motor. Definitely worth the hassle of wiring them up.

    Trouble is, the OP specified a 1970s or thereabouts quarry, and Pickering Quarry was long closed by then (OK, strictly dormant, as I believe it reopened in the mid 1980s). The railway also closed in 1965. The time frame also complicates use of the Severn and Wye as a prototype, it being shut by 1970.

    You could try Steetly's Dolopel works at Whitwell Quarry. Started in early 1960s.
