Model home and red distant Signal

Model home and red distant signal. Box B down outer circle starting signal and Box C distant signal mounted on same post. Located on model railway layout, gauge 1, Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Signalling School, built 1912, by L&YR.

Distant signals are normally painted yellow but when they were first introduced they were painted red. They were distinguished by the cut out from the arm. Some red distant signals were still in use when the layout was first built so an example was included on the layout.
