This photo solves for me, what the signalling was at the south end of the station. I am not an expert on LNER signals, but am I correct that it shows a searchlight signal with a Shunt Head signal below?  This must act as the south (?) box up starter and the Weekday Cross distant?  If so, was there any route indication for which way the road was set at Weekday Cross?

 

The photos of Nottingham Victoria are very atmospheric.  You father has left us with a magnificent record of this lost station.

the signal below the searchlight looks like a banner repeater to me

Hi Ron - check out the OO trackwork on this layout! : http://www.rmweb.co..../page__st__1275

Actually I think that this helps. That link shows exactly why Ron should be encouraged to avoid narrow gauge! The head on shots of the K3 (photo 6) and of theA4 really show up how 4mm scale locos look far too wide for the 3.5 mm scale track. Even the other shots really jar with me as it looks like good model track, but not much like looking at the real thing.

What a pity it would be to see those beautifully made viaducts and bridges spoilt with tracks that are so obviously narrower than in any picture of the original.

Those sorts of things are important to me, but others have different interests of course.
