The Dorman LED signals don't but other types (i.e. VMS) do.

It's also my local model shop when I am residing in that neck of the woods. Very useful for modelling materials and nothing is too much trouble if any items are not in stock.

All you want now is someone to call this Lime Street Control.................................

drifting gently over

and then Capello to Stamford Bridge ...

Now there's interesting... Oh Mr Porter sprung to mind because that was an old film, it was also filmed on the Basingstoke to Alton line, and had a train crash although I don't think it was as spectacular as "The Wreckers". And not forgetting the IRA (gun runners in this instance) although I don't recall this being part of the story line in the Wreckers. Over to lmsforever I think? F

I think that would be Oh Mr Porter. Already noted in post #2. F

Along with starting to change the lever colour as well... F

The Blue Lamp (1950) Standard Stock appears in a scene where Dirk Bogarde is chased across the Central Line heading towards White City greyhound stadium. The Death Line (1972) A wonderfully sounding film set around Russell Square station (although filmed at Holborn and Aldwych) with lots of appearances by 1959 tube stock F

Site work starts big time from 1st April 2012 (no joke) when both the goods lines and the existing bay platform are signed out of use to allow construction work to start. At the end of Oct 2012, Stalybridge Signal Box will close and we end up with a station that has 2 west facing bay platforms and 3 through platforms, 1 of which is bi-directional for through traffic.

A very interesting article as I am contemplating a first time trip to do exactly the same thing. F

Not a bad guess then The important thing is that it gives you enjoyment. F

I don't disagree with that. It's just that is looks as though the OP is going to end up with a layout with the advance starter and home signals about 1 1/2 coach lengths apart I doubt your list above has that situation. Therefore another option. Just assume that the advance starter is the other side of the bridge and that there is adequate sighting. F

Hello Jon, There is another option to consider in order to avoid things looking over signalled and that's to put a banner repeater on the scenic side of the bridge. This would do away with your Advanced Starter and Shunt Ahead issue and would look a little more realistic as a shunt ahead would not normally be used in this situation. In real life the advance starter (if there was one) would have been put in the right place to cater for any shunting moves. I have seen the banner option used on a couple of exhibition layouts and it looks the part. Keep up the good work. F

How long before this joins the layout cliche list?
