For anyone interested, I posted a mini signalling-related vid on YouTube yesterday:

This has also spawned some interesting discussions on the Signal Box Forum.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting video. Always nice to see semaphore signals still working. There are none where I live. I also visited your website. Again, fascinating. I liked your interactive diagram of Shrub Hill. Very neat. What software did you use to draft it?

The diagram is drawn in MS Visio then exported as a GIF file. I then open that up in Adobe ImageReady (a utility bundled with Photoshop) to create the image maps - that produces an HTML fragment I can copy and paste straight into the web page.

Thanks for the information. You’ve obviously put a lot of work into this and it shows. I have MS Office Professional but not Visio. I may attempt something similar using Open Office Draw. What puts me off is having to first create a palette of all the various signal symbols etc. that I might want to use. I’ve searched the web but haven’t been able to find any readymade and sharable.

Ah great memories. Probably my favourite route when i was still driving at Oxford. Proper signalling at Worcester.
