SIMULATOR PANEL UPGRADE...

For those who don't know, this is the simulator panel in the locking room. It's from here that we pretend to be the other signal boxes (Redbridge, Kimbridge and Eastleigh) during a demonstration. The person operating this panel listens to the demonstrator upstairs, and sends the appropriate bells, lights etc, which means a truly realistic demonstration to the visiting public.

Up until now the lights on the diagram in the signal box have been controlled simply by a toggle switch on the simulator panel. With no other visual indication as to whether the switch is on or off it is easy to forget one. Following some investigation, some new push on/push off switches with an L.E.D indicator have been obtained. These are about to be installed and wired up. This will give a very visual indication that the switch is turned on.
