You need to know your MDR history for this one, the advertisement below is from a 1960s railway publication, but what is the connection between Forcett Limestone and the Malton And Driffield Railway???

Yep, They may also have supplied a second Barclay tank to Burdale, but I have no idea whether the other one was named or not.

So how does this type of signal work exactly ?
Seems similar to one that was at Market Weighton station.

Not sure but looks like a modern electric banner signal shown in the on position. Background colour can be changed.
