Info requested - Ealing Common WM5 co-acting signa

[DrJimi]

I'm trying to place the WM5 co-acting signal in our virtual rendition of the DL. Below are 2 screenshots taken from our D78 and 73TS cabs. I recall Doc told me he had to look up slightly, and felt a D78 Op might have to look down a bit.

I'd be most greatful if a DL and/or Picc Op familiar with this could please advise me where it should go, with reference to the other heads, etc.? (e.g. "level with x and about a head's width to the right" or whatever). How is the co-acting head attached and what to? Anyone happen to have a recent photo?

Deeply appreciated! Here's the screenies...





Best to all, Jimi

I would say the co-acting is a little lower, and sticks out slightly more to the right. Also the train would be stopped closer to the signal, so much so that usually (from a D stock anyway) the main aspect is not visible at all to the driver. But the co-acting is.

Btw it looks very impressive.. good job !

*Key point* This co-actor was installed primarily for the 73ts.........so it will be better seen from a 73ts cab.

News to me - considering it was done on request from the SSL Service Improvement Manager!

But as Happybunny says, below and to the rifght of the shunt signal. It's also a lot smaller than the shunt signal.

Understood gentlemen - deeply appreciated!
