Guys;
I just created a new folder in Files section "Signal Indications". It has 2
pdf's I created directly from the 1951 UCOR indications. One PDFD is for ABS,
the other is for Interlocking Zones. Only the ABS display shows targets on the
right side of the mast. The zig-zag circles around some signals indicate a
flashing aspect.
Hope this is of some help. Things could be different now, as these were the
signals of 60+ years ago.

Thanks for looking that up Brianâ¦â¦â¦.certainly enjoyed viewing your
site!. Guess I will after the first signal I have already made stick to
targets on LHS of mast . I was dumb founded because when I looked at the
rule book they were on the rightâ¦â¦â¦â¦that being said the old UCOR
rules state either side but the left seems more logical. Obviously some
reason for when they are on the RHS of mast. Steveâ¦â¦..Port Alberni

Good idea. I looked through my scanned slides from the 70's and 80's and
found 7 showing signal heads to the left and non to the right. All photos
were from BC.

I took a quick look through my slides that had already been scanned, coming
from the 1969-1975 period. Very few had signals in the background, so the
small sample size could easily be unrepresentative. For masts there appeared
to be more signals mounted on the LHS (looking at the target) than RHS, but
there were examples of both. I could not discern any obvious reason for
using one over the other. If they were mounted on bridges or cantilevers,
RHS of the post seemed more common.
I only noticed one picture of a mast with staggered heads so will refrain
from any comment on those.

Thanks Don.So if the lights are in line vertically you can have the targets
RHS or LHS of the mast. What would determine what side of mast you position
them? Is there shall we say a default side?. Upon more reading etc I found
out to since I model to mid 60s I should be using UCOR rules not CROR rules.
Do you have a quick summation as to when use interlocking or block type
signalsâ¦â¦â¦..i am a bit confused on interlocking terminology? This is
very indepth subject and being an old fart I am getting a bit flustered.
Thanks for your help its greatly appreciated.Steve

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 targ ets
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
