Modeller’s Bookshelf
Chris Leigh and George Dent present four new titles to inspire and inform your modelling
SEMAPHORES FOREVER!
Signalling on Britain’s railways evolved throughout the ‘Big Four’ era but the nationalised railway accelerated the pace of change from manually operated traditional semaphore signalling towards colour light and electronic signalling. Robert Hendry is a well-known writer, and this is a good quality, highly pictorial summary of traditional practices, packed with prototype images, plus sample track plans to inspire modelling and provide guidance on how ‘proper’ signalling was arranged and how it ensured the safe movement of trains over more than a century.
