Mechanical Signalling in Plymouth This covers the Plymouth area from Saltash to Marsh Mills and Plympton on the GWR, and from Tamerton Foliot to Friary (and branches) on the SR. There are diagrams and detailed descriptions of each box in the area, many of which Larry worked, as well as his own reminiscences, and details of how each box was worked. There is also a wealth of information such as Special Instructions, Special Bell Codes, and some proposed signalling schemes. The Signalling of the Isle of Wight Railways Prepared from information collected by the author over a period of more than thirty years; these signal box diagrams include locking tables. Signalboxes on Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Lines - This covers in 170 pages the history of signal boxes at some 190 locations on the former L&YR lines between Preston, Chorley and Bolton on the one hand, and Todmorden, Colne and Hellifield on the other. The result of several years' research, the book comprises brief histories of each box, plus appendices dealing with the box and frame designs used by the L&Y and its successors, the internal equipment of the boxes, and traffic patterns on the lines concerned. Over 160 diagrams and some 44 photographs are also included, illustrating the various types of box in the area. 2004 Signalling Atlas and Signal Box Directory The 2004 Edition of Peter Kay’s publication of 1997 has been produced by the Society in liaison with its previous author. The information is accurate for 1 January 2004 and an innovation in this Edition is colour maps produced by David Allen. Members and others have pointed out a number of corrections to the Signalling Atlas, and these may now be downloaded in PDF format HERE. Signal Box Register - Volume 1: Great Western The book sets down details of every known GW signal box and is the result of many years' research. It includes six diagrams and 55 black and white photographs. The hardback version, if ordered from SRS Book Sales at the full price by the end of May 2008, includes the CD-ROM. The paperback book, hardback book or CD-ROM may also be ordered on-line by following the link given - in this case P&P is added at their prevailing rates. Ordering in this way is likely to prove cheaper for overseas addressees as the printer has an overseas presence and dispatches from the most convenient location; it may also be cheaper (and quicker) for UK addresses, and you may wish to visit the site and check their current p&p charges. Please note that only a small stock of these items is held, so there may be some delay in responding to your order.
