The point and FPL levers have to be in the correct position for the interlocking to release the signal lever. The FPL won't engage in it's stretcher unless the points are fitting-up properly and if they aren't the FPL lever won't go 'Reverse' in the frame to release the signal lever. Out on the ground there's a detector at the points that ensures that the points and FPL are set correctly before the slide in the signal operating wire is free to pull through it.Aardvark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090938730424120909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602179322958970783.post-74040805379651242062018-04-12T02:19:59.678-07:002018-04-12T02:19:59.678-07:00If the interlock is in the locking room, what happ...If the interlock is in the locking room, what happens if the rodding becomes disconnected from the points and they don't actually move?Peter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020212199830779526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602179322958970783.post-68631854391631418732018-04-11T14:53:28.329-07:002018-04-11T14:53:28.329-07:00Methinks that the interlock with the signal would ...Methinks that the interlock with the signal would be in the locking room underneath the signal box.

Until the FPL has operated the signal cannot be pulled off.

The cranks on the P2 side are set to reverse the action - a push is converted to a pull, whereas on the P1 side it repeats the action - push creates a push. I presume this is to get the right operation at the points/FPL?<br />Also, I was wondering, how does the signalman know that the points have definitely moved? Will you have electrical circuits to indicate position?Peter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020212199830779526noreply@blogger.com
