: Wasn't the wire operated dwarf at Ringwood 2 position? (Centre road for up
: movements).
: There was one on the back road as well... (signal 30 I believe)

There were three at Ringwood, 28 up move out of no.2A (centre road), 30
up move from no.1 (back road) to either siding 'e' or the up line, and
21 set back from up line to either No.3, No.2A, No.2 or No.1.

All three were operated by wire from the signal box.  They had red and
yellow lenses and worked in the upper quandrant.  So that would make them 
a three position signal (since a two position dwarf works in the lower
quandrant and has red and green lenses, see post 7 at Showgrounds Refuge
Siding)
