[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi Capt C Time to show my ignorence of US signaling practice. what function does the signal have. I note one sketch shows a full mast and the other the signal bracketed to the building. If a full mast is used it should be away from the building close to the track as presumably the rodding or wire goes to a lever in the building, if how ever it is bracketed to the building it doesn't need a full mast but the rodding or wire to operate it will stil go to said lever in building. a signal ladder is not shown in the sketches it will need one for the block boy to get up and put kerosine in the lamp[:)] well thats[2c] for what its worth. regards John [/quote] Sorry I haven't responded to this post, I simply lost track of it. The signal (Semaphore) that I saw in a photo (circa 1910 or so) had been obscured by poor picture grain quality and people standing infront of it. Since I had made my first drawings based on that photo I assumed that it went to the ground. Upon researching similar stations on the same road, I saw that the signal was mounted in the manner you describe in your post. I then gave Mr. Scratch-b-rules instructions to take that into account when building. I am curious to see the results of his efforts.
