complicated trackage
#14
That photo is Newcastle station on the route from London to Edinburgh, I think the north end. The track coming off to the right goes to Scotland; the left tracks go across the Tyne and head to Sunderland. The right hand tracks are electric suburban service.
My 1998 track diagram shows that the station now has 6 through roads, 3 tracks going north and 2 crossing the river. This whole track formation is now 3 double slips and a handful of crossovers.

I wonder if the trackwork was not insulated for signals through the special work, just the plain track on each side.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
