Description:

A set of British Great Western Railway (GWR) styled trackside and overhead lower quadrant semaphore signals by Isambard. Signals are implemented as path signals, waypoints and track assets.

Three different eras are provided:

• GWR (1850-1929)
• GWR & British Railways (Western Region) (1930-1969)
• British Rail (1970+)

1. Starter (stop) Signal
2. Home (stop) Signal
3. Combined (stop and warning) Signal
4. Overhead Stop Signal
5. Overhead Stop Signal (with +0.5m along track offset)
6. Overhead Combined Signal
7. Overhead Combined Signal (with +0.5m along track offset)

1. Distant (warning) Signal
2. Platform Starter (stop) Signal
3. Siding Starter (stop) Signal
4. Whistle Board
5. Overhead Stop Signal
6. Overhead Stop Signal (with +0.5m along track offset)
7. Overhead Combined Signal
8. Overhead Combined Signal (with +0.5m along track offset)
9. Overhead Distant Signal
10. Overhead Distant Signal (with +0.5m along track offset)

1. Signal Bracket
2. Signal Gantry
3. Dummy Overhead Signal (stop, combined or warning)
4. Side Bracket Signal
5. Fixed Distant Signal

a) All path signals, waypoints and track assets are placed with reference to the left side of the track.
b) All path signals, waypoints and track assets are placed 5m in front of the signal/waypoint track arrow position marker (so that trains stop in front of signals).
c) Overhead signal positions are identified with respect to the signal bracket/gantry post on the left side of the track. There are 3 positions to the right and 3 positions to the left.
d) Overhead path signals are always placed in the first right position.
e) Overhead waypoint signals are always placed in the first left position.
f) Overhead dummy signals can be placed in any position.
g) Signals, waypoints and track assets are placed at 1m intervals along the track, however these intervals are sometimes not aligned across multiple parallel tracks. To support the placement of overhead signals on signals brackets and gantries aligned to other tracks, overhead signals include +0.5m along track offset versions.
h) Waypoint starting signals can be used to avoid a train leaving a platform and then drawing up to the signal before it has cleared.

a) Junction signals will only show the correct route some of the time (the base game signal functionality does not support route indication).
b) Warning signals are not linked to stop signals (the base game signal functionality does not support signal chains).
