Sunbury Resignalling

[notagunzel@hotmail.com]

This Weekend, the Signalling at Sunbury was blown up.
The Track Layout now looks like this:
(I hope this works)

        Xing   Dn Plat.             Bridge
Melb    \ /     |____|    _________  _   _  Bendigo
________|_|______________/_________\__|_|__________
________|_|__\______________/_________|_|__________
        | |      ____                _| |_
        / \     |    |
               Up Plat.


Terminating trains can now arrive direct into the Up Platform, which is where
the office is, closer to the town, and next to the bus interchange.  Both
crossovers are new, the one at the down end was allegedly installed 2
weekends ago replacing the remains of the former centre road, the one at the
Up end was installed many moons ago, and remaining spiked out until this
weekend.  Both crossovers are motor operated, and the siding is secured by
miniature Annett Keys (E + F pattern).	There is a new panel in the Station
office, next to the old Frame, a 7 lever Rocker, which has been sold.  The
interlocking is a Westrace CBI in a brutal green concrete hut on the Up
platform.  There are 9 signals (I think), 2 Distants, 1 Dwarf and 6 Homes. 
The Highlight is the Down Home just before the Facing Crossover.  It is a
lattice Bracket Post, probably from North of Seymour, with a 2 Homes to each
platform, and a calling on light to the Up platform.  It is a bit odd to have
a CBI (Computer Based Interlocking to the illinformed) controlling a signal
on a ancient lattice post.

Hope this is comprehendeble,
BC
