Signal Systems Information Sought

Dennis has an HO layout and asks this question:

“I Would like information on ‘easy but low cost’ to medium difficulty systems to give lighted block signalling on a small size RR. A lot of what I have seen lately is on computer and/or expensive commercial electronic packages to do this. I am instead looking for a simple way to do this.”

Jon wants your help or comments on signals too:

“I have built a layout and would like to place correct signals (home,distant,shunting etc), but find the few books that I have looked at rather complicated! Is there a clear reference book or similar suitable for even dummies like me! Various kinds of junctions/sidings/stations/loops shown in a clear and concise way. My layout is loosely based on British Southern Railway 1930/40’s.”
