Signalling Layout Signalling

[Steve Cook]

Evening All.
New section for signalling created as an add-on to the permanent way section.
I have added two new prefixes for you to make it easier to differentiate - you can also choose one of the scales if the question is model orientated rather than prototype.
Any problems, please give me a heads up - I have left a re-direct message in the original forum section which will disappear in a few days.
Enjoy!

Steve,
Please explain the quote... I thought that the above would allow me to be able to select either S&T or PW and then to add an appropriate scale. Unless I have made a mess of selecting from the pull down menu I think that I cannot mark a post as, for example, "4mm S&T" or "7mm PW". If the software allows just one prefix to be selected then the options going forward are not as useful as we had when the sub-forum was just for eg. PW.

What stops the members from having two, independent, sub-forums? (one for S&T and one for PW).

regards, Graham

Hi Graham - I have just added Permanent Way and Signalling as prefixes which weren't available before - you can choose those or scales. I agree its a small compromise - don't forget that one can always be more prescriptive in the thread title...

Creating another independent sub-forum is more involved as we (admin) have to specify various forum nodes / parent child relationships / posting privileges etc which stops it being a quick five minute job.

Lets see how much traffic is generated by the signalling prefix and then work out if it requires a separate section. Arguably we already have quite a few sections, some of which see little to no use so I'm less tempted to add extras.

Steve. Thanks to you and the other Admins for setting this up. Lets see how it progresses after it settles down a bit.
