KMRC Skrifa – SR Isle of Wight Steam Engine Head Signals


As detaled on our Skrifa post here, the Southern Railway / Region used Head Signals in six standard positions (unlike the four positions of the standard head codes used elsewhere) with white 15" diameter discs or lamps at night to denote the route of the train.

This post provides an overview of the Engine Headsignals as used in the Isle of Wight, and therefore suitable for use with our Adams O2 0-4-4 tanks, now also released under the EFE Rail brand, and the Isle of Wight versons of the Hornby A1X Terrier 0-6-0 tanks.

15" scale discs are included within the the accessory pack with all versions of our Adams O2 0-4-4 tanks.


Due to the fewer routes on the Island only four positons were used, and therefore, unlike other Southern Railway / Region locomotives, lamps irons were only fitted on the bufferbeam above each buffer and centre and also one top middle of the smokebox.
