Y'all may find this amusing but I was watching a 'Thomas' video with my three year old son and I didn't understand about the signals used in the story. In the story, there is a semaphore signal which moves up instead of down. When would you use a signal that moves up and when would you use a signal that goes down? <br /> <br />In another story they refer to a 'distant' signal and a 'home' signal. What is the difference in these types? In this story, the engine is happy to see the 'distant' signal because it means there is a water tank ahead. <br /> <br />I only know a little about signals which I read in the book 'How to Operate Your Model Railroad' by Bruce Chub. It is a great book for model railroaders. Let me know what these signals are for if you can. Thanks. - Ed
