kevinklein Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 there is a thread about such sleepers, but no conclusive answer... there may be some kind of conduit/drain under that piece of track, as the concrete covers beside the sleepers suggest...? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79033-random-wooden-sleepers-why-common/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The concrete cover in one of the pics referred to, does look like an old style track drain catchpit cover. But with the timber sleepers adjacent, I am not sure. I notice the timber sleepers are only found on the track to the right of the concrete cover and not to the left; indicating some sort of conduit under that track. The other long lense pic shows timber bearers under 'breather switches'. Expansion joints (breather switches) generally come made up on timber bearers. Also, w.r.t. the bi-coloured signals, I have 2 operational on Minsterley and the amber aspect of the tri-colour LED looks just as good as a normal yellow LED. In the picture, the top LED is a normal yellow LED, the bottom, a Tri-colour set to amber. Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Thank You both,.............. for your written submission's,.................... much appreciated.............. Doughnut kevinklein It is the kind of answer's I am looking for. As to ref. Tri-led's.........were these,you just bought, as a seperate entity ? I bought a couple at the Chatham Show,on Saturday, for a trial,with resistor's. I was quizzing DP.staff,yesterday, point's control, signal post height's, 1. ground control lever, and.............. there is a signal in Harbour Tunnel !!!.............. for approaching the scissor's crossing from the South........... but no one..........has a photograph of it..............

Doughnut Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, I bought the tri-leds from Rapid or Maplins, I think. The secret of getting the colour right is to do with the resistors used. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
