| | 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. In addition to featuring the equipment used by the main railway companies of the UK before nationalisation, which persisted into the nationalised era, this detailed new book also covers signalling used on London Transport, in Ireland, in industry, and also in preservation. This latest addition to the popular ‘For The Modeller and Historian' series provides the reader with an entertaining narrative and informative captions, supplemented by a carefully selected collection of colour and mono photographs featuring locations from throughout the British Isles, in order to give modellers the widest source of reference possible.
