Wow, thats a lot of information! Thank you for making it. I would like to see a version of this for people like me who havs always been interested in this stuff, but know nothing.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I try to pitch these videos so that people who are new to railway signalling can understand them and plan on making many more.

As a former Movements Inspector I am surprised you did not cover the Warning Signal when you explained the Calling On Arm and the Shunt Ahead Arm. The Warning Signal as you will no doubt know was used where trains had been accepted by the Signal Box ahead but the line was only Clear to the outermost Home Signal the line to the Clearing Point is or could be occupied by another train. Having said that a great video which will be invaluable to modelers who often just put signals where they think they should go.

Thank you for your comments Andrew, the video was already over 30 minutes and there were a couple of signals & other things that I wanted to cover but didn't (points indicators for example). I will do another video when I get around to it but decided to concentrate on the main current ones for now. TUN

Main signals could be located on the wrong side of the track for sighting purposes (typically on a curve), but where this was not possible a banner repeater would be used.

Thank you for your comment, I should have mentioned this in the video. If I thought there was enough demand I would do a video on signal sighting. TUN
