TRAIN TIME: Brimtoy No. 8 "Stop" or "Home" Signal 1949 - Redux

This is a re-post of a signal originally appearing here back on  13 May 2019.  I've added a bit more info based on my newly gained 'knowledge' of UK signaling practice. :-) Here's a recap of the Wikipedia article:

"There are two main types of semaphore; stop and distant. The stop signal consists of a red, square-ended arm, with a vertical white stripe typically 9-12 inches (230–300 mm) from the end, and advises the driver whether the line immediately ahead is clear or not. A stop signal must not be passed in the horizontal "on" (danger) position, except where specially authorised by the signalman's instruction. By night, it shows a red light when "on" and a green light when "off" (clear). The green light is usually produced through the use of a blue spectacle lens, which produces green when lit from behind by the yellowish flame from a paraffin lamp."

My signal appears to have been made in 1949 from what I could gather and is 9" (22.86cm) H. The base is 3" (7.62cm) W x 3 1/2" (8.89cm) D. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

TRAIN TIME: Hornby Semaphore - Distant

From my admittedly short bit of reading about the signal system in the UK - as it pertains to these semaphore type signals -  was comprised of two types: stop and distant (I've noticed that Hornby markets the "stop" semaphores as "home" signals, so there is apparently at least two different names for the same type of signal). The one I currently have on the layout is the "distant" signal which is comprised of a yellow arm with a notched end and a correspondingly 'notched' black arrow type marking. I'll let Wikipedia describe it's purpose:

"The other type is the distant signal, which has a yellow arm with a 'V' ("fishtail") notch cut out of the end and a black chevron typically 9-12 inches (230–300 mm) from the end. Its purpose is to advise the driver of the state of the following stop signal(s); it may be passed in the "on" position, but the driver must slow his train to be able to stop at the next stop signal. When "off", a distant signal tells the driver that all the following stop signals of the signal box are also "off", and when "on" tells the driver that one or more of these signals is likely to be at danger. By night, it shows a yellow light when "on" and a green light when "off". On many branch lines and short block sections, a distant signal was often fixed at 'Caution', standalone or mounted below a Stop semaphore, and so exhibited only a yellow light at night."

...and there you have it.  My signal measures 10" (25.4cm) H.  Base = 3 3/4" (9.52cm) D x 2 3/4" (6.98cm) W. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I must've ben bored to take this many photos! LOL I mean, it's my usual course of 12 shots but really?
