The indicator boards at Birmingham International can't count !! If the information cycles around two pages, the bottom line of the screen says "page 1 of 3" and then "page 2 of 3". Similarly, if the information cycles around three pages, the bottom line of the screen says "page 1 of 4"...

Any chance of a quick moment of gap-filling please chaps. I'm trying to complete my list of escutcheon/bezel colours for the buttons: Main Signal Entrance (or Entrance/Exit) Button - Red Subsidiary Signal Entrance Button - Yellow Exit Button (eg at the far end of a bay plaform) - 1...

SignalFixer, I've pinged you a PM about these pesky switches and their part numbers. Since then, I have also found what I suspect to be the "fat" Swisstac switches here. Interesting that the bezels only seem to be available in grey or black though?! I have discovered that switch +...

Thanks both for the pointers and for the offers of help.... I wil keep you posted with progress (likely to be slow!). Cheers

I don't think so - certainly not on a GEC (or is that HW!) panel. There, the switch sits in the middle (pointing to the "OOC" indication) to allow the points to be controlled by routes being set through them. Setting the switch to "N" or "R" moves the points to that position and fixes them...

Thanks both - and apologies for starting the hair-splitting session!! It would probably make sense for me to give a bit of background as to what I am up to (then you can just call me sad instead of splitting your hairs!!). Back in the dark ages (1970s) I constructed a simulator/model of an...

Another blisteringly fast response - thank you! Two position with three indications makes sense. On the photo that I have, the indicators are in the order N/F/R and I can see that when normal, the switch points to "N". Do we know whether the second position of the switch is pointing to...

Thanks both - I wasn't expecting one response that quickly, let alone two!! I'm a lot clearer now, but still a gap or two..... The usual position is that the switch points to "N" and the indication is "N". When the panel operator wants to give the release, he moves the switch to point at...

Probably a question for those actually working an NX Signalling Panel (my question is based on some photographs of Kings Cross)..... I know that the individual point control switches are three position and are normally left in the centre position for route setting. Indications are...
