🤦♂️ Yet another totally wrong signalling explanation video by a well known YouTuber, I hope I’m not the only one frustrated by this!

Yep, suppose it’s not totally wrong there some elements are true, but he’s got the basics wrong and could have been easily researched.
I don’t want to get into reply to YouTube comments, as I can bet where that get me, just wish YouTubers would do good research! (Like buying me book!🤣, sorry, had to!)

In lower quadrant signal areas do banner repeaters go the opposite way?

Tested positive for Covid on Monday... managed to avoid it for the past two years and then fall the week before the Taunton do. Typical!!

I always get excited receiving a revised set of CADs to review, working on a few different prototypes this week at opposite ends of #railwayhistory #modelrailways #enjoyabledayjob #tease

32 years ago today 35 people died at Clapham due to a wiring fault. Many things have changed since then.

Why can't people use PM when they address a message to one member?

The upside to the current restrictions is that there's plenty of room on the trains. The downside is that there are no supersaver tickets. Bah, my travel just got more expensive!

Well, the interview must have gone well, I've been offered the position of Senior Designer [Signalling]!

Just how many signal boxes have NR demolished/will demolish? Absolutely appalling... I have no words.

The fact is that I need a good majority of cases, the Mechanical Lever Frame is entirely unsuitable for the amount of traffic it controls and other types of locking (RRI / CBI) are much more versatile, efficient and cost effective than a mechanical frame.
The problem is that a lot of Lever frames were an integral part of the construction of a signal box, meaning in a some cases, you can't simply remove the frame and keep the signal in place.
But if you could leave the signal box in place, you then have to maintain the building or risk it being vandalised, used as a home by squatters or other illegal uses.
Yes, some could be used for other uses, but most are in places which you can't access without having authority from the railway, so they aren't useful.
Im sorry, but the signal box as it was in steam is not suited to the railway of today in most cases and there's no business sense in keeping redundant assets going.
