@peter8121 I have been told as a steam railway enthusiast that I am barking mad; at lest now I have a little reassurance that I am not the only one who is!

Ok, I was thinking it was something like that. When I trainspot on the NYMR I usually see alot of activity around the tokens and signalboxes.

@WaerzMedia09 I understand that. What I was doing was expressing surprise that in this day and age there might be a train of coaches without air brakes.

What he means is when a locomotive is pulling coaches that have their own brakes. Pulling the lever will apply the brakes on the WHOLE train.

What are the round coils with the black handles seen at 07:02 ? Are they some kind of thing for a radar map so the signalbox's know where the trains are?

On single line working the signalman issues the train crew with a token which allows only their train to proceed along a section of single line. This is to avoid two more trains coming together with possible disastrous results. What you see @ 07.02 is the crew and signalman exchanging “Tokens” at the end of one section and the beginning of the next.
