Distant Signal aspects

What are the distant signal aspects:

• caution - two greens??
• clear - flashing white??

Flashing white: expect clear. Flashing green: expect stop. Flashing 2 green: expect 40. -- Kildor (talk) 09:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Resembles original 1830 signals: red=stop, green=caution, white=clear! Tabletop (talk) 22:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

The light signals are the night aspects of the German-inspired semaphores, with the distant signals merged into them. Sweden was one of the few places where the RGW system was not dropped for the RYG system. GorfGnome (talk) 02:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Images

The Swedish version of this page has much higher-quality scalable images. Would it be worthwhile to switch to using those on the English version as well? GorfGnome (talk) 02:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely! --Kildor (talk) 09:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've done some preliminary work with the high quality SVGs, but I'm not too sure about the look of the frames. Perhaps some slight rearrangement of the home signal section? I like the way the Swedish version is set out, with the images aligned left-to-right in a table, but the bullet point description of what the signals indicate is less clear. Which layout looks clearer to peoples? GorfGnome (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I prefer the layout as it is in the Swedish article. --Kildor (talk) 21:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Righteo, the English version has been updated to include the Swedish layout, and I've also updated the Distant Signal section. I removed the headings for each aspect as existed on the original English version, as these seemed to add too much visual clutter. GorfGnome (talk) 08:06, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Very good! I will update some of the text to reflect recent changes in the Swedish railway regulations. --Kildor (talk) 22:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
