most often forgotten item of infrastructure

[steve836]

For us olduns how about a wheel tapper?

Neatly forgot ---water troughs both on track and in street

Must admit I'd not thought of water troughs. Now that would be a neat piece of detailing

And there was me thinking I was old for referring to Green Shield Stamps in another thread

Especially if they worked

I think Peco sell them (non working).

I added id plates to my two signals today.  the signs were pre cut but so tiny it was a challenge to stick them on the signal posts and get them square.  I added a phone to one of the posts as well.

I have also re-done the limited clearance signs on my bridges so they line up a bit better.

I added detailing to two of my 37s at one end but had to remove some bits as they were hitting the coupling socket on curves! multiple working cables can stay on though.

If you're modelling the modern GW lines, then ATP circuits are needed, and the loops with then. They look like extension leads laid along the centre of the rack, with the return part attached to the inside of the running rail.

Also the TPWS grids for overspeed and stop grids. In bay platforms you have overspeed grids 55yds before the blocks, and must be under 10mph over them.

On the subject of toilet flushing, at Paddington the platform lines are covered with a membrane to collect the flushings, and every so often a company come along at night to replace them. When we run HSTs into Waterloo during blockades, NR lay the same membranes there on 1 or 2 platforms and the HSTs must go in those.
