I am thinking of adding signals to my layout (when the time comes) and controlling them with BLOCKsignalling ASP1B Colour Light Signal Control Module Infra-Red units. What are the best 3 or 4 aspect signals to go for? My layout will cover a broad era from late 60's to the late 70's and maybe into the 8o's. Thank you.

Eckon or Berko signals. Can't remember which ones which. One is for 00 and the other is for N gauge. Both do a range. The only downside these days is they tend to have ultra bright feathers, which only appeared after around 2005. Prior to that the feathers were not that bright. Older model signals from the range did have the duller feathers, so you may need to look at the secondhand market if they no longer do that type.

On the feathers MG, i was driving until 1993, and there were plenty about all over the southeast, Cambridge, Didcot, Southampton and all over the Southern....if you go for 4 aspect that's a extra signal in each block section going down from green to 2 yellows, 1 yellow then a red.....

I'm referring the difference between the old bulb feathers and the modern very bright LED type feathers.

The ready-made Berko ones don't have feathers I believe, so if you want these you'll need to assemble an Eckon kit.

It wasn't a silly question to me and I'm sure to others. It set me off to the internet to find out
![]() I know others will be able to explain better than me, so I'm including a link: http://www.railway-technical.com/sig...ling--what.pdf Page six of eight gives what you wish to know. Others may say differently of course! |
