Hi all, hope you've all survived Christmas and had a lot of fun while doing so!
I have a question in regards to signal placement . While I have some understanding on the aspects a signal can show, I'm not too sure about it's placement.
Specifically, I'm thinking of a modern light signal mast, that has two signal heads, each having red yellow and green lights. Let's say it's situated next to a double track main line, on which side would it most commonly be ? I asume this would be the right side, but I've also seen signals on the other side of the tracks. Which of the signal heads would be for the right hand track , the top or the bottom? And what if it's placed on the left hand side of the tracks?
(BLMA models both makes left and right handed signals).
Cheers !

PS: All the best wishes in advance for 2012!
