Can anyone help me with a diagram, including dimensions, of GWR signal lamp(s) circa 1900 to 1920? Actual diagram or directions to a source would be appreciated.
I am also after any images people might have of signals at Bodmin in the 1950s. Again, copies or directions would be much appreciated.

Re: Diagrams and dimensions.
Have you looked in BRJ 10, article by Peter Squibb?

Re: Diagrams and dimensions.
Re Bodmin signals: Pat Garland photographed Bodmin comprehensively in the early 1950s. I think his negatives are now held by Roger Carpenter.
I had prints of most of these in my hands when we were researching Bodmin for the NLG P4 layout in the late 1970s, but I don't think I could put my hands on them right now. However, my recollection is that nearly all of these photos appeared in the long-running series in the Constructor in the early 1980s, plus Les Williamson's scale drawings of all the signals. I think the coverage of the Bodmin signals in that series (both prototype and model) should give you all you need.
