Hi

We are delighted to report that on Saturday (27th), we sucessfully tested the automatic operation of our new colour light signalling installation , when Thomas drove ‘Viceroy’ into the station and as he approached the signal at the end of the loop entering the detection track panel, it turned to green (indicating that the next section is clear) and then back to red once the loco was in the next section..When Thomas then reversed the loco into the (clockwise) platform, once again, as the loco moved onto the track detection panel, the signal turned green.

So we are very pleased that all our thoughts,chats and planning efforts, have now been  satisfactorily proved to work> A great team effort from everyone involved which will now enable us to continue to wire up the remainder of the system, as we now have all the cables installed along the tracks and all the signal posts in position….
