Wexford70 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Hi folks, Could any of the knowledgeable group confirm that the signal indicator of the type shown below was used in Ireland? I believe it is a Sykes Pattern Home Signal Repeater in a mahogany case. I thought it may have been UK GWR but the signal arm would have been v shaped I believe. Is there any possibility it is from Northern Ireland? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Used all over Ireland, Britain and further afield. No real way of knowing where it came from if not marked with a location. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wexford70 Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Would I be correct in thinking red = home, yellow = distant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 In Ireland generally it is red (latterly hi vis orange) for both home and distant. In Britain it's red for home, yellow for distant although the GNR(I) also followed this convention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
