At last weekends gala the Steam Railmotor returned from its home at Didcot to be paired-up and run with a Trailer for the first time in preservation. Here are a few pictures - the full set can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/llangollen_signalman/sets/72157633317969090/with/8676795697/ Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a shot of the Llangollen SimSig developer acting as Guard on the local service on Sunday! You can however see a few signals you may have operated virtually.

A glorious machine! Saw pictures of the power bogie in a preserved steam mag; that is a wonderful piece of compact engineering...

Just wished the trailer was ready for when I went on it on the Looe branch, was rammed solid! Agreed though, its a marvelous achievement.

" said:an awesome peice of engineering - I'm just concerned that the signals move the wrong way! :PNo our signals bar a couple at Glyn move the right way  The shunt ahead signal will feature in the rerelease. "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply |

That would be an SMU by modern terms?

" said:now if we could just work out whether you offer a train then cancel it once its withdrawn or not ;) shunt into forward is probably authorised given theres a signal for it "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

Over to Andrew to give a definitive answer. Though I can't ever remember seeing 3-3-2 in the green book, perhaps 5-2, 2-5 comes into it.

One of: - Blocking Back (3-3) - Release Token (5-2) - Shunt behind a departing train (3-3 if train out of section rec'd while shunt still in progress otherwise no bell signal) If the Shunt Ahead signal was locked electrically then it would only be released with a Token Release or when a train was 'Going to' rather than 'Coming from'.
