Is there any chance of a video showing how a tablet is taken out and replaced on a no.6 machine? Also would be interesting to understand what turning the separate commutator actually does in the process.
Surely when the other signalman replaced the tablet he should have sent 3-5 which should have been acknowledged which would have returned the marker on the machine to “in”
It was only done during a private visit, the other signaller ( human at the other end) was actually one of the team so apologies if things not quite aufait but yo7 know what us s & t are like 😅
@@irseminorrailwayssection9491 😂😂 It’s just that I use those a lot and noticed he had to ask for another single plunge to get the flag to be right. I know if you don’t get it right and get the flags at both ends correct it can make getting a tablet out for the next train fun!!😂😂
Fascinating stuff. Never get tired of seeing these operations.

The separate commutator is the signallers visual reminder. , il ask Pete if he can get a little video of withdrawing a tablet for you
Thanks!
