These videos on signalling at various heritage railways in the UK are great, if a bit rough. Brynglas Blockpost - and the block working system in general on the Talyllyn Railway - is very strange. Brynglas has Tyers train token instruments and a lever frame interlocked with a passing loop (and siding), but no signals - all signals are done by flag instead, with the signaller essentially being the interlocking instead.

There’s a trailer video out now for the Great Central Railway’s Railways At Work Gala. It’s an award-winning immersive historical event recreating a busy British mainline railway in the 1960s. I went to it last year and was blown away at how good it was. If you’re in the UK in mid-August, you have to go visit:
