Default Epping-Ongar Railway: Worth a look

Interestingly, the old two-aspect station starter
and single-aspect inner home at Ongar are still extant ...


What's a single-aspect signal?


A signal with only one aspect.


Sigh. Okay. What *use* is a single-aspect signal?

Fixed distant, or fixed stop signal. Not what I'd expect to find doing
an inner home job, though ...
