A photographic portrait of traditional signalling on British Railways from Nationalisation through to the 1990s.

Signalling on British Railways underwent massive changes from Nationalisation in 1948 to privatisation in the 1990s, but throughout this period much of the network’s infrastructure dated from the era of the Big Four and the pre-Grouping companies. In this book author Robert Hendry presents a photographic portrait of the variety of traditional signalling in use in the BR era, from the pre-Grouping infrastructure and mechanical signalling up to BR-built signalboxes prior to the conversion to colour-light signalling. The reader is also introduced to the principles of signalling operation.

Author, railway historian and modeller Robert Hendry was born and brought up in Rugby and was introduced to the railways there from an early age through the interest of his father. He has written a number of books on various aspects of Britain’s railways including signalling, infrastructure, coaches and wagons as well as on transport on the Isle of Man. Robert also produces with his wife Elena the Elro range of card kits of a number of railway and tramway subjects.
