Most of the routing/signalling arrangements are in place, but the signals around the LNWR side are presently set to be inactive. One of the...
Did you miss my comment that getting freight timetables for Peak Forest was delayed (and delayed due to reasons completely outwith DTG's control)?
Would you indulge me in making a couple of perhaps pertinent observations on the timetabling: through no fault of DTG's there was a significant...
Matlock is a non-standard aspect sequence oddity due to the concatenation of 2, 3 and 4 aspect signals, as well as the use of auxiliary aspects...
Rowsley was a division point in the freight timetables.
Working under Regulation 5 is the "Warning Arrangement" and was referred to as such since the post-Armagh formation of the boilerplate RCH...
Because of the way semaphore signals are set up, each and every main line stop arm would have to be considered individually and the individual...
Full implementation of Rule 39A (as evolved after the April 1960 reissue of the Signalling Regulations) is a challenge within TSW, and something...
That signal seems to be permissive; I need to drill down further through my notes and have a very close look at the wiring of Midland Railway...
Yes - has been cross checked in the 1931, 1937 and 1960 sectional appendices.
Given the extreme tightness of the entire Midland side of the Buxton area, I'd say that yes, you would shunt that close to the starter.
No, you wouldn't - for whatever reason 3-3-2 (shunting into forward section) was not permitted at Buxton East in that direction, so the really...
Edge Hill No 1 had gone the way of all flesh by the time we modelled the route - it controlled the tunnel end of Edge Hill platforms and way...
Excellent news, I have Silver San Juan behind me, and most of the Sundance volumes. Placerville to Rico is a good choice.
It's a family competition.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_snorkelling In other - more salient news - well done to the team. Very nice to...
Oh, Colac-Crowes..... Before it was trimmed back to Weeaproinah.
L3648 is now at the correct height - if you look at it, it is a platform height signal, and was waiting on a platform that never came.
Look at the TSW credits.
Sat next to me is a hard drive with signalling diagrams for the entirety of New South Wales, most of Victoria, every single known NZGR Signalling...
I don't. I'm minded to recall Robert Dell - who when tasked with automating the signalling on the London Underground went in and went hard....
It has no nameboard because it was not operational in 1958. All the others were open and should have names.
It may look odd at first sight, but I have a strong suspicion it is based on one of the test paths Crewe Works - Salop and return. That's just a...
I'm currently in a belfry, and unable to directly check, but if there are at least two stop arms in advance of the distant yes.
Hi bescot, The important thing to note about the malfunctioning distants: these are very much isolated incidents and not system-wide bugs at all...
As I said; there was no evidence found for either of them on this route in this time period; even around Edge Hill where scheme plans for the...
As I said: no evidence found. If authenticity is key, then imagination is not the mother of invention.
No evidence of either whistle signs or speed signs pre-1960, autumn 1959 at a pinch. There are pictures of Hartford Junction with speed signs,...
A distant signal will read over all the signals controlled by the same box: from the outermost home to the most advanced starter, in some places...
It's a transitory stage between the aux yellow being switched on for fog and falling snow only and indicating a change in indicated braking...
Not in this case and in this era. This is the transition stage between the modern twin yellow/single yellow progression and the single...
1958 was a deliberate choice.
You mentioned diversionary route. Distants are correctly geolocated; and the speeds are as per the 1937 SA, IIRC.
It is not wrong for there to be a green at the signal that can show green and yellow if the train is turning off the main at Ditton.
Crewe - Weaver Junction distant location is correct. If the CL distant is at green for a diversionary route on the Up approaching Ditton it...
Not strange at all, 1958 was a deliberate decision to avoid 1959. The amount of work needed to portray 1959 would require significant...
Fast or Slow? In this specific case, it is accurate.
If a Distant is "On" - yellow (or single/double yellow) that means that somewhere ahead of you in the "range" (I don't want to say block, due to...
There isn't a design error, the distant is there. Are you on the Up Slow or Up Fast?
You'd not get an express to Poo. It's only local DMUs these days, I think.
The devil in me wonders if Scunthorpe and Penistone pass muster.
Are you drawing a distinction between limits of deviation and (lapsed) powers or are you putting something else into the mix? 10 yards was the...
Pardon? Railway companies would not buy more land than needed, and as enjoined by the 1845 Act they were responsible for the maintenance - better...
Boundary fences, whilst bound by the provisions of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act of 1845 are not within the ambit of the signalling...
FWIW, the Talyllyn managed to get away without continuous brakes until more than a century after Armagh. I've guarded many non-continuously...
Greek translations have been part of the dev process for the route, so arguably on-topic if not obviously so... ;)
FWIW, and as I'm waiting on an update, a minor grammatical observation: in 1Cor13:11 κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου is the "things of the child", not...
As I said upthread, the signalling team (which has grown since the days of the Tees Valley) know how distants work and have implemented it from...

Not just understood - implemented and knowing it from an interlocking perspective.
