It's been a while since I posted anything, but have been keeping an eye on the Lounge. It looks like soon we will have some kits to play with
I cannot remember if I raised this previously, but I'll do it again.
The type of layout I will eventually build will not have complex interlocking at its locations. The majority of interlocking will be performed by local ground frames, typically 2 lever and sometimes up to 5 levers.
My suggestion is that the minimum of 6 levers be reduced to 2. I would like the option of being able to build a number of local lever frames, typically with an FPL lever and point lever only. As has been noted in this forum previously, in ground frames (NSW at least), the FPL works differently than in a signal box situation. In a ground frame, the point is locked when the FPL is in the NORMAL position (ie back in the frame, not 'pulled'). To unlock the point, the FPL must be 'pulled' into the REVERSE position, which then releases the black point lever.
In saying this, I hope this is possible without complicating either SigScribe4 or the manufacture of the kits.
I would love to be able to have a large working interlocking, but as said above, my layout just doesn't have that size of 6 levers or more.
For your consideration.
