Also I can make screen recordings of various routes being set on a real IECC/MCS/WESTCAD layout is it legal to publish on this forum and would it have any merit on learning for module 3?
Here's the animated GIF now attached
1. yes may well be
If you made the signal be an LED type then the bottom aspect (of two) would correctly change from Red to Yellow.
2. I am not a lawyer so I pass on that one but to be honest I don't see the harm. However the video files might be rather big.
But yes I definitely believe that many would find it easier to understand if they had experience of signalling from a signallers viewpoint which is why I made use of Watford a couple of years ago to demonstrate both the panel there and an IECC/SSI simulation courtesy of a supportive company.
It was good in Bangalore to have a visit to McML's model railway controlled from a signalling panel for much the same reason. This year we are making plans to use an interlocking simulator at the YM Mod3 Study Day which we are attempting to organise for May. If here is something that we can do on-line then I'd be all for it
