尽管有现代的外观，但自20世纪20年代以来，彩色光信号一直存在，与“传统”信号灯信号一样充满微妙的细节和变化。
在模型铁路布局中包含工作信号系统在技术上具有挑战性，但增加了现实性和“惊喜”因素。模型铁路的彩色光信号有200多幅插图，包括原型和实际模型信号的彩色照片，以及易于遵循的表格、图表和流程图，其中包括：英国彩色光信号发展简史，以及轨道设计如何影响信号设计的基本解释。概述了不同类型的转辙机，并描述了组成信号系统的不同部件，以及这些部件的使用和控制方式。
Colour Light Signalling for Model Railways
Despite modern appearances, colour light signalling has been around since the 1920s and is just as full of subtle details and variations as ‘traditional’ semaphore signalling.
The inclusion of a working signalling system within a model railway layout is technically challenging but adds realism and ‘wow’ factor. With more than 200 illustrations including colour photographs of both prototype and actual model signalling, as well as easy-to-follow tables, diagrams and flow charts, Colour Light Signalling for Model Railways contains: a brief history of the development of colour light signalling in the UK along with a basic explanation of how track design influences signalling design. An overview of different types of point motor is given along with descriptions of the different components that make up a signalling system and how these components are used and controlled.
