B&M US&S Style-B Home/Distant Semaphore,<kuid:60002:100032>

Not sure who/where to report this to, but I found that at least this semaphore (and possibly the others by this author, there are a total of three) use a corona that isn't on the DLS. Therefore, when downloaded it has missing dependencies that can't be obtained through the DLS.

It's a shame with there being so few US semaphores, they look pretty nice in the thumbnails.

I seem to remember them being Klaus M 's, 3 coronas, on a third party site. Not sure where to get them. But you can replace the coronas, with another set of 3 corona kuids.

I use the B&M US&S Style-B Home/Distant Semaphore, on all my routes in TRS2006. Love them !

I have those coronas, as well as the item you reference. But unfortunately I can't pass them on as they're from a third party site and would violate well understood license protocal defined by thier creator. Sorry gents, I don't have easily available the site from which I got them. But I'm sure a search and time spent on your part will result in a positive outcome. They do exist!

As per n8phu' post, http://www.malorny.de/vrails/ I believe they are under the: Download: German Semaphore Signals (animated)

frogie --

Search the DLS for:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial]KUID2:69871:2064:1 and
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial]KUID2:69871:2065:1

They are the originals updated with coronas that are either on the DLS or built-in (can't remember which - it's one of the two).

All the coronas are on the DLS:

KUID:137715:21001
KUID:137715:21002
KUID:137715:21003

That was my point, thanks Phil. I found them on a polish site, but I don't want to use anything for a route that isn't on the DLS. Personal preference. I'll do a search for those KUIDs, thanks!

:hehe: I just searched and when I saw them realized I had downloaded them already!! LOL

Question: I think I've got them figured out, but is there a guide on how to use them?

They seem to be exactly the same (home/distant and block/distant) save for the flag it's self - by which I mean they both behave the same way. And they both only show 3 aspects. STOP - RESTRICTED - PROCEED Even tho they are 6 lamps (3 top and 2 bottom)

Red over Red = Stop
Red over Green = Restricted
Green over Green = Proceed

So the are equivelent of USA04 right? Do you guys do anything for diverging routes? Use other signals with the semaphores?

It appears that they ARE only 3 aspect... The top arm should have red-red-green and the bottom should have yellow-yellow-green, not red-yellow-green on both as it is.

At least according to this manual, dated 1925.
