The steam railway down where I grew up is after some help, such that they can finish a project before the cost quadruples in a years time. The Bluebell Railway runs between Sheffield Park and Kingscote in Sussex and has been planning for a while to extend the line to the mainline station at East Grinstead.

I get it, I've been somewhat neglectful of my own site whilst working on others, so here goes a selection of some of the recent random stuff I've come accrss.

For some insane reason over on the Model Rail Cast forums I offered to create a piece on UK signalling after someone offered the same for US. So here goes my attempt at covering the basics of UK signalling from early days to the current day. This is far from complete (see sources below for more information) and may contain errors (see comments below to see if any have been found).

Just a few random things:

• For those who have trouble with metric
• Pips blooper on Radio 4
• New concept in boarding trains
