Signals on the Broomy Hill Miniature Railway operated by the Hereford Society of Model Engineers (see http://www.hsme.co.uk/ ). Based on the Great Western Railway's lower quadrant signals, these are worked by compressed air put into the cylinder that can be seen on the side of each post. This system was chosen in preference to electrical operation since the area is prone to flooding from the adjacent River Wye. See Image for a general view of the station.
