BRITISH RAILWAY SIGNALLING IN COLOUR : For the Modeller and Historian

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In recent years, there have been many books on railway signaling, but never one like this. This volume is the first all-color book on a subject that lends itself to COLOUR particularly well. From a personal archive containing many thousands of signaling views taken by his late father and himself, Robert Hendry has selected almost 200 outstanding photographs not just for their pictorial qualities, but to illustrate how railway signaling has evolved since the dawn of the railways. The author had mastered the block code long before he knew his multiplication tables, and worked his first block instrument before he was 5 years old. It was a short step from photographing signal boxes to collecting data about them, and each view in the book is accompanied by an informative caption that will assist those coming to the subject for the first time, but will also add new perspectives for the signaling devotee.
