[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by John Busby</i> <br /><br />Hi all <br />After completing the first signal for my railway all be it a very simple one. <br />(see you used what to make that thread in scratch building forum.) <br />Looking at both Garden Rail(UK) and Garden Railways(US) mags. <br />Many of the published lines don't seem to have any signals or indicators of any description at all. <br />Not even train order signals that would explain the absents of all other types. <br />I wondered if this is because the signals required canot be purchased or are too hard to make because parts are not manufactured by any one. <br />As this is the one lineside acsesory I thought every railway should have at least one or two of I wondered why no one seems to have any?? <br />regards John <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Signals are a vital (literally from the Latin..."vita," as in lifesaving) part of a railroad's operations. I am yet to design signals because I am yet to have enough track and places to go to have them. In fact, I don't even have crossing signals up yet. <br /> <br />Eventually I will, but it is merely a matter of the "stage" I am at on my line. I must say that your type of signal, the one I posted, is of a type that I am going to explore. I think I will eventually end up with semiphores. <br /> <br />Capt Carrales
