Hi All,
I wonder if anyone here can help me, placing semaphore signals on my layout ?
this is the BR part of my BR/ LU layout
I'm using the ratio kits but the signals won't move, they'll be static.
I'm no artist (as you'll see) but I've attached a drawing and each signal that I think I need has got a letter next to it
Starting at the top station, as well as through trains on each line, trains can reverse from either direction. A train can come into Platform 2 and reverse over the cross over, since it's a passenger move, I guess I need home signal C
Trains can also enter Platform 1, and then proceed empty pass the cross over, then reverse over the cross over and pick up passengers again from Platform 2 - so I'm guessing I need a shunt signal, next to home B
Then the main station is again a through station, the same reverse features as the top one, so I think I need a shunt signal as well as home E
Trains coming from the right can also take the left hand branch at home G, where they can obtain the loop line, avoiding the station. if it's a pick-up goods, it could uncouple from the trucks, the loco running wrong road through the station and then back onto the rear of the goods train which could then move forward into the head shunt and then shunt into either coal or goods shed sidings
You'll see there's also a 2 road engine shed, I've no idea how to signal that, and of course, the loop would also be used by the pick-up goods if necessary, to run round it's train via the platform, running the right way to move off to it's next station
The track layouts are of course complete fiction and there's probably a lot wrong with them
The signalling doesn't have to be 100% correct for the layout, it just needs to look right
Unfortunately, it's too late now to change any of the track layout, but I'd be really grateful for any help with the placement of the signals
