Ground shunt signals

[wiggy]

Anyone got any info or photos of ground shunt signals modern day.

Looking for configuration of lights and colour of lights when in straight ahead and off to junction or siding.

Found this link but any other info welcome.

Hi Wiggy,

Colour light shunt signals on the IE network consist of one red light on the left hand side and one white light on the right hand side when showing a danger aspect,

When a train is to enter a yard or siding a proceed aspect consisting of a vertical white light above the right hand white light is given with the red light extinguished and is an indication to the driver to proceed at caution and be prepared to stop short of any train or obstruction that may be in the way,

Around the Dublin area multiple routes can be given with the one ground signal-e.g apart from the vertical position-straight ahead,a 45 degree angled two white lights can be give to go to a left,

A shunt signal in Ballina before the CTC was introduced had the ground shunt signal as described above but with a route indicator placed on top with the letters'P'T'G'F and when used in conjunction with the two white lights meant that a train was to be routed to the Platform,Through,Gantry or Fertiliser road.

Looks more of a triangle, Red bottom left then White to the right and White above.

 

Thats the only type of model ground shunt signal I can find at the moment but still looking.

Great info, I'll have to update the signal instruction sheets...and I'll provide a signal kit for less than half the price of that one

Here's a modern day LED type ground shunt signal,

In this case only one route is operational this being the vertical two white lights,while there are two other routes available they are not used
