One of these days I swear I'm going to make it back to Wales and take in the narrow gauge. Last time I was there I didn't do it for lack of time. Admitting that I have exactly zero familiarity with British signalling practice, what exactly are all those heads used to indicate?

It's not old, it was only erected last year and is motor worked.

I have not been to Wales for alnost 10 years, so I am pleased to recieve your "update" on the real narrow-gauge. Thank you. wag216 |
