TRAX 3: Signalling and Lever Frames - Jeff Geary - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The renowned and easy to use TRAX computer programme is back. Author Jeff Geary explores the possibilities of controlling a model railway in prototypical fashion, namely by operating points and signals from a signal-box style lever frame. Making the frame mechanically interlocked, ensures that trains can only be signalled when the correct route is set, and that conflicting routes cannot be set at the same time. This new book also explains the principles of signalling, the different types of signal and their significance, and how a typical track diagram would be signalled. The application of these principles to the model railway is then discussed, showing how the block section method of working can be adapted to control the layout. In easy to follow fashion and with copious illustrations, the construction of signals and lever frames is explained, with details on how to construct a set of mechanical locks and releases to ensure exact workings of a lever frameAlso included with the book is a CD containing the third version of the TRAX program. Additional facilities available in TRAX 3 include new track formations such as scissors crossings and transition curves plus extended drawing facilities. New signal types have been added plus lever frames incorporating full locking facilities. Also included in the programme is a scripting facility to develop and test timetabling, and utility programs to make it possible to test locking on the lever frame.

Harold Gasson’s Steam Days - Harold Gasson - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Three of his books described his life as a fireman based at Didcot shed from the early 1940s. Firing Days was followed by Footplate Days and then Nostalgia Days. Finally, after Harold had forsaken the footplate for the signal box, came the final instalment, Signalling Days. All were eagerly sought after at the time for they described the railway readers wanted to hear about, providing a nostalgic perspective which could be enjoyed from the comfort of one''s arm chair. Out of print for several decades all four books have now been reprinted and are available together for the first time complete with a new set of illustrations. The steam engines and most of the mechanical signal boxes of Harold''s working days may have been long consigned to history but in these well-written and enjoyable books they are brought vividly back to life for a new audience to enjoy as well for those who recall his era for whom these tales will reawaken treasured memories.

Southern Infrastructure 1922 - 1934: A Second Selection - E Wallis - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Last year Noodle Books produced the first volume of photographs from the E Wallis collection, which received widespread praise. Due to this success a new collection of photographs is being selected which is sure to be widely welcomed by Southern enthusiasts.E Wallis was a signal engineer on the LBSCR and SR from 1922 to 1934 and was in a privileged position to record the contemporary infrastructure scene on the railway. As a result very few trains feature in the pictures, but instead there are images from vantage points not normally accessible to the average enthusiast. All the photographs are of excellent quality and it is rare these days to find such a rare collection that has never been seen and have the opportunity of bring them to a wider audience.

Great Western Railway Architecture Part 1 - Amyas Crump - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This, the first volume of a new survey of the architecture of the Great Western Railway, presents a wonderful variety of structures encompassing both classic standard GWR designs and the very non-standard contributions of many of the engineers and architects who worked for companies which were subsequently absorbed by the GWR. From the towering Brunelian majesty of Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads to the almost anonymous wayside halt, the story of the development and evolution of GWR architecture is told here with the aid of copious colour illustrations. The book explores a representative selection of stations, goods sheds, signal boxes and other fixed structures showing how designs changed over the decades. From the sublime architectural gems of the nineteenth century to the mundane but yet attractive Pagoda style shelters and corrugated iron buildings used across the vast GWR estate in the last century, a wonderful tapestry of styles and structures fills the pages of the book. This is a must have for all those interested in the GWR, its history and legacy and for the many who are active in recreating in model form aspects of this fine railway

Impermanent Ways - Jeffery Grayer - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The latest volume in the highly successful ''Impermanent Ways'' series sees renowned railway historian Jeffrey Grayer visiting Wales in search of the lost railway lines of the region. In South, West and Mid Wales active railway lines once proliferated, from Cardiff, Newport, Pontypool, Merthyr Tydfil, as well as further west at Swansea, Whitland, Cardigan to name a few. One-by-one, many of these lines fell victim to decline and closure particularly in the 1950s and 60s, but much of their infrastructure remained - a silent testament to more glorious past. It was in the first few years after closure that author Jeffrey Grayer travelled these closed lines, chronicling and photographing the platforms, stations, halts, siding, crossings and signal boxes of these Impermanent Ways. Some of these lines and buildings have returned to use through preservation, but many are now lost and this latest volume in the Impermanent Ways series is a testament to these lines, both passenger and freight only. Using photographs from the author''s collection and other images from the lines'' heyday, Impermanent Ways 12 provides a fascinating and nostalgic reminder of the lost railways of Wales a once a thriving network of lines many of which owned their origins to the now vanished coal industry.

Scottish Railway Atlas Then and Now - Paul (author) Smith - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This is the latest addition to our ever growing and highly successful portfolio of railway atlases. At its core is a set of maps contrasting, on opposite pages, the Scottish railway network in 1920 and the same areas today. This graphically illustrates how the system has contracted over the course of the last 100 years and allows comparison between these two eras to be easily made.However, there is so much more to this atlas than just the maps. For example, the Index of Stations has photographs of all those that are currently in use. For closed stations, each entry gives their OS Location, site status description and has a small map of the station. All stations in the Index have a chronology referring to the date of opening, closure dates for those no longer in use and any changes to their names that were made.Other sections of the Atlas contain information on British Railways Scottish Region Motive Power Depots with closure dates and locations, preserved railway lines, major structures on the network, signal boxes and a listing of the Scottish railways companies which became constituents of the LMS and the LNER. This excellent addition to our range of railway atlases will be very much welcomed by the many railway enthusiasts who have great interest in and affection for Scotland''s railways, their history and heritage.
