Some have questioned whether or not semaphore signals 'bounce'. Whilst a sample of one proves very little, at least this one does.

  • on most railways a semaphore signal would be designed to bouce to make sure it pulls back all the interlocking exuipment

  • I think it depends on the counterweights, but most semaphores I've seen have bounced in varying degrees, particularly when going back to danger. It's a lovely sound that brings back memories that. :D

  • Thats absoulutly normal for an upper quadrant. You want to see be46 and be70 at Barnetby East they have got a fantastic bounce on them!!!! They are designed to do so because they have a spring loaded buffer on the bearing that absorbs the force of the arm coming down.

  • NIce footage. I believe many of them do - well those I remember always seemed to! The sound is very familiar. I have seen a model bouncing signal at Hull Model Railway Show it's a 3mm example and very convincing. (Home made - not the commercial product available). Happy Days.
