Position of the signal lights on either side of the mast does not affect signal
aspects, so long as they are all on the same side. What does matter is when
there are two lights which are staggered. When in this position, two red lights
mean the signal is permissive and indicatse STOP AND PROCEED. When the lights
are aligned vertically then two red lights mean the signal is absolute and
indicates STOP (i.e. stop and stay).

Subject: [cpsig] What side of mast for signal target
Guys i have been fumbleing my way through the CROR aspects for signal lights
making some model signal lights.I was using the 2007 trackside guide for
location of targets on mast.For instance rule 405 shows green and red target
below and above each other on the RHS of mast yet when i look at other material
this rule and others shows targets on the LHS of mast. What am i missing here
and need to know?. I noticed a few of the materials i was researching showed
targets on opposite sides to the 2007 guide and other materials i was reading.
Not sure and do not want to assume that targets vertically placed can be placed
either left ot righthand side of mast. I think i am missing some info here.
.Thanks for any insight to my question. I have gone and made one stand with
vertical aspects ot targets on the RHS of the mast and dont know if thats
correct.Thanks steve
