I have removed the link pointing at this page. This is very much a WIP and I'm not yet prepared to make it easily findable, hence using this convention:

You can also start your new article at User:Marquis DeCarabas/The Signalling of the Duffws Line‎. There, you can develop the article with less risk of deletion, ask other editors to help work on it and move it into "article space" when it is ready.

I appreciate the link, but there are several weeks' more worth of work before I am prepared to move it into 'article space'.

Cheers. :)

You will have noticed that I put in a link signalman Richards. I am currently checking what I have on other people who were Blaenau signalmen. If you come up with more names I might be have or be able to produce potted histories. They may well be names I don't have at all but I might be able to find out about them. Keep up the good work, all very interesting.

Yes - that sort of stuff I'm more than glad to have added: I hope most 'discoverers' realise that the order of the article at the moment is very fluid. It is an experiment to see if I can write using Festipedia, rather than working at home to produce a long screed. I suppose some will think I'm crazy for doing the most complicated bit of the line as a proof-of-concept, but like Robert Dell and his Programme Machines (his first installation was for regulation at Camden Town): there's nothing like diving in at the deep end to see if it works.
