Two Tyers one wire two position block.
Sufficient progress has been made with the bell code machine for a bit of testing. The is a designed long pause for an answer to 'call attention', 3-2-5 is the longest bellcode we are likely to send for now though i'm sure there will be a suggestion of adding longer codes. 2-2-3 was regularly used between Soham and Chippenham Junction for trains of condemned stock heading for King's Siding near Snailwell.
There is a slightly shorter pause in answering 'train on line' as the Bobby should be out of his chair etc...
There is a short pause before 1-4 is answered as 'we don't get many of those round here mate'
The BCR is in circuit and works nicely. I can post a video of this if there is any interest. It does make a fair clunk of it's own but is hidden by the gong.
