Facing point locks. Limerick junction

[Junctionmad]

Working my way through the signalling. There's quite a few FPLs. I know in Ireland both the standard two lever and one lever " economical" types were used I suspect given the status of the mainline all FPLs at LJ were two lever ( ie one for the points and one for the lock ) anyone have any pictures of both types as used on manual signal boxes in Ireland

 

Thanks

Thanks , I'm waiting for that book anyway

 

Are there specific LJ pictures ?

God damm , his picture of the signal board in the south cabin is cutoff. For a signal engineer he does not do a great job of " detail", but he does add some extras

 

As for the FPL, He at least confirms there was some " economical " FPLs. Hard to locate them since they didn't appear on the signal board unlike separate FPLs. Obviously the lever is blue black, but unless I can correlate levers to points,it will be difficult

 

Maybe I wrote to irish rail

 

My research continues
