As semaphore signals fade from the scene on modern railways, the modeller has less opportunity to observe in the real world the things they may wish to create in model form. An error which occurs in models surprisingly often is that semaphores point the wrong way. The general principle is that for a...

Ian, Do I understand that you have completed a SigScribe4 design, and you now want to know where to go from there?
