British Railway Signalling Development

In the British Railway... in Colour series, this volume looks at signalling development with both the historian and modeller in mind. A problem facing modellers is that each company developed its own style of signalling and the hardware took on regional characteristics. With such variety, the pedantic modeller often has to resort to scratch-building in order to be authentic. The book takes a company-based approach in handling the subject, which modellers will appreciate. It also includes signalling used by London Transport, in industry as well as in Ireland and in preservation. The entertaining narrative and informative captions are supported by carefully selected photographs that show regional variations. This is a useful source of information for the modeller.
