Nice work,Tim. Inspirational, in fact!
There was an intermediate re-signalling at KX & BI in 1922. The colour light signalling scheme was a 1930s development. One would presume that the alternative banner sign would say ‘MAIN’. I can’t see our Pullman train going into the ‘LOCAL’ platforms.That is interesting - a 3 position upper quadrant signal (with a rule 55 track circuit indicator) amid all the the lower quadrant signals.
Then into a rabbit hole as I initially thought it would be a Westinghouse product. This signal was produced by the British Power Railway Signal Company Ltd which was a division of GD Peters and Co. Turns out they also provided 3 position ground shunt signals for the SECR at Victoria.
That's fascinating. I've got a still unfinished EM version of AR Walkley's "OO Gauge Portable Goods Yard" that I think I was writing up on RMweb rather a long time ago, although I suppose the photos will be long gone. It's interesting to see what he was up to 10 years later.Mick Nicholson has sent me this fascinating MRN article from 1935.
Showoff!From my iPad.
