In this colourful new book accomplished author Robert Hendry takes a company-based approach to the vast and complex subject of railway signalling. Although all companies were faced by the same essential need to ensure the safe passage of trains and the same basic regulatory framework, they each adopted different equipment and methods of operating. This helpful volume allows those interested in a particular company or region to follow the development of signalling by the company, and also to compare it with the often significant differences in the signalling solutions developed by others.

British Railway Signalling Development in Colour for the Modeller and Historian

History

Fascinating look at the development and flourishing of narrow gauge railway lines in Great Britain. Rather than focus on just one line, the author looks at the larger picture and includes steam, electric, tourist, tramways, and industrial railways. This is supplemented with a profusely illustrated historical survey of six steam lines, four industrial lines, three pleasure railways and an industrial gallery that includes quarries, York Minster cathedral and the Guinness brewery. More than 200 photos, together with numerous plans, notices and documents, most of which have never appeared before in print, provide an in depth look at the amazing variety of British narrow gauge. 128 pages.
