Scott,

Thanks for the pointers with regard to the technical section and that "lingo".

The amount of work that has been put into that technical section is priceless...definite thumbs up there.

With regard to the signaling gear ask away. When I get the chance and get a clearance from my "super" ( as this is public domain and some systems may be "commercial in confidence" ) I'll send over or post up some photos of the systems and equipment that we use here.

Currently work on a mixture of Microtrax and MicrolokII signaling systems( US&S - Ansaldo ). Radio Base station type SCADA telemetery systems.
Full cab signalling system incorporating ATP protection ( ATSS - active and passive transponders ).


Safetran GCP systems, Southern Technologies HBD and car tag reading gear...etc etc etc.

And a multitude of other gear that would take too long to mention... [Linked Image]

When ever you've got to time, just start another post if you want to have a yack about rail stuff...won't be a problem at all.

ciao
