DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this colourful new book accomplished author Robert Hendry takes a company-based approach to the vast and complex subject of railway signalling. Although all companies were faced by the same essential need to ensure the safe passage of trains and the same basic regulatory framework, they each adopted different equipment and methods of operating. This helpful volume allows those interested in a particular company or region to follow the development of signalling by the company, and also to compare it with the often significant differences in the signalling solutions developed by others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Despite modern appearances, colour light signalling has been around since the 1920s and is just as full of subtle details and variations as 'traditional' semaphore signalling. The inclusion of a working signalling system within a model railway layout is technically challenging but adds realism and 'wow' factor. This new book contains a brief history of the development and deployment of colour light signalling in the UK; a basic explanation of how track design influences signalling design; an overview of the different types of point motor and, finally, descriptions of the different components that make up a signalling system and how these components are used and controlled. It is an extensive guide to developing and adding realistic colour light signalling to a model railway layout.
