- Part 3, including how and where to place your signals, along with what type of signals to place.
Great job on sharing information on signaling. There is little info out there. I would guess so few people do it or want to try and explain it. Great job.
Scott
Thanks for taking the time to do all this.
If anyone is doing canadian signaling, please go on google and type CROR signals which mean canadian rail operating rules. I hope you will find this useful.
Very Cool
That is cool joooooooood job
great video, are you planning on doing anything with older signals that were removed?
Love your series. What software did you use to draw your schematic?
Damn, even the 6 ball is cool!
Great video/series Josh! Thanks for taking the time to document all this info. BTW, do you have any dwarf signals or switch indicators on your layout? I don't recall seeing any.
I do. I have switch indicators on each end of the upper level signing in ABS territory. I also have dwarf signals on each end of the siding as well as on the yard lead on one end of the yard.
Thanks. Time permitting, can you explain how they work and where to place them on the railroad? I was thinking of starting small and maybe adding some signals to some of my turnouts in my industrial area. Not sure how prototypical that would be. I was thinking of just a simple red/green hooked up to a tortoise to show clear/diverging. I know you are away at school, maybe a future project. "Anyhow", love your videos. Thanks.
It will be a while before Im home, but I will try to remember to do that.
in a previous video you said that you can through switches in the computer system. if you through a switch will it change the signal or do you change it by clicking on the computer.
JT The Railfan If the computer system is on, you have to throw via the computer. All of the computer controlled switches are located within control points. You can change a switch as much as you like and the signal will remain red until the dispatcher clears the route through the control point, by clicking on the signal and turning it green
Josh,
Quick question. From the SE8C to the signal heads, via 10 wire Digitrax Ribbon Cable, which have ports added to it, for the SMTK to hook up signals. Do you need anything between the signal itself (Details West) and the SMTK.
Thanks!
Hey Josh
That was great valuable informative information you gave us with regards to signaling. Railways have a different language of describing their signals. Whatever you said, really makes sense and was on point. I think this will help a person who is very new to railroad signaling. I know that the flashing yellow in the CROR (Canadian rail operating rules) means advance clear to stop means the next two signals you will soon have to put your train to a halt. (please correct me if Im wrong.) If its not flashing, its called clear to stop which means next signal you stop. And josh one thing I want to ask you is If you have a yard ahead, is it nesscessary to have three signal heads? Why can you not have two signal heads before a train comes to a yard?
In regards to your question, it completely depends on the prototype railroad you model. For norfolk southern, a restricting is a red over a red over a yellow (R-R-Y) so in this case you would need 3 heads. However, if the main line cross overs were not present. it is also to show possible to show a restricting by leaving a space between the two heads. (look closely at the NS signaling aspects) I believe some railroads can show restricting by a flashing red, so in this case if there are no crossover present, only one head would be required. It really just depends on the railroad you model. Hope this helps!
It also depends on the location as to the meaning of the aspect. There are some NS towers in which red over yellow, with NO SPACE in between the two heads, also means restricting. The meanings can vary within one railroad company.
How do you do yards
***** Great Series! Just so you know, there is no video description in part one, not sure if you are aware of that.
Thanks for letting me know steven
Do you know where i can find some 3 headed signals? also what is your email, I have a really important question for you!
restricting doesn't always mean going into a yard.
I know. Just using that as an example
Roger
Thanks for the input though!
why do you have a pool ball in your video this is a railroad video not a pool video joking don't worry i really don't care about the pool ball nice layout by the way my layout is no where near that
Amtrak Hartford, I guess the answer to your question I’m sure the guy put the pool balls there to hold the paper down that be my only guess
Restlesswikiinfo taking the time to explain every indication for every railroad signaling protocol would not be worth the time in the video. There are many different head and lamp combinations to create the different indications
