It would help the illusion if the signals (assuming they are meant to be at 'clear') were set in the upper quadrant that they were designed to move in. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures and references that I have seen, seem to indicate GCR and many others were lower quadrant. Maybe they altered by the time the 20s and 47s moved in, although I haven't seen any information to lead to that conclusion.

My point is that those are nice models of upper-quadrant signals which, for whatever reason, are shown drooping well below the horizontal in a situation where a train is passing, giving the impression that something is seriously wrong.

Well, thank you for the information, although "Of course they were" may not be correct for the vast majority of the population. Perhaps if you had made those two points in your original post the matter might have more informative to those whose studies had not yet included them. Thank you again, I am the wiser for your reply. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but as the layout is still under renovation unfortunately the signals are all disconnected and unless they were glued/bluetacked all remain in or near to the ‘on’ position (I did put in the blurb that it was awaiting the route so that it’s assumed the loco is stationary in this shot at least ).

RMweb Gold Popular Post Metr0Land Posted February 12, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Not sure if this fits here but wasn't sure where else to put it. One thing that's always grated with the Bachmann Class 24 is the clunky cabside handrails. I know some people have issues with other aspects of the model's fidelity but for its time I thought it was a good model. Anyway I took the plunge recently and had a go at making the handrails more realistic. Loco is yet to be weathered.
