‘New’ HK and SP Signal Posts – Summer 2024
A ‘background’ task is to construct some
signal posts out of old rail. Mike Hopps has built two more rail posts; one is to replace the HK down distant (1R) south of the tunnel (which apparently is too tall for proper sighting) and the other is for a new Sheffield Park advanced starter. This is to be set further away from the end of the platforms to allow for shunting of longer trains in anticipation of the proposed longer platforms being built in due course. The posts were built to original Southern Railway drawings, the design of which made use of old rail and point rodding.
