Railway Fog Signals Detonator - Single - With Clasps - Long Life Span - Collection Only - [UP-0007/061538]

Please note that this product is only available for collection from our warehouse in Shubette, NW2 7HF.

A railway fog signal is a small metal device containing a limited quantity of explosive. In use, the device is placed on the running surface of a rail such that any rail-mounted vehicle passing over it would cause it to explode, and in so doing, alert the driver of the vehicle to a hazard on the line ahead. A common use for railway fog signals is to protect possessions

Features:

  • Size: 51mm diameter by 9mm deep
  • Case: The outer case of each signal is comprised of two parts, a base plate and an upper flat-topped dome, both are made from cold reduced tinplate of thickness 0.43mm and joined at the rim
  • Construction: The rim joint is comprised of a single fold, made by bending the edge of the upper part of the case underneath the base plate and sealed to prevent entry of moisture
  • Percussion: Each signal contains five percussion caps fitted on an anvil made of tinned malleable iron, sufficiently soft not to indent the rail. The anvil assembly is held securely in a central position on the base plate by a perforated tinplate disc
  • Explosive: Each signal contains 8 grammes weigh of gunpowder
  • Binding Strip: Signals shall have a lead strip, average length 178mm by 6.4mm wide and 0.8m thick firmly soldered to the base plate 
  • Marking: The word SINGLE and figures to show the month and year of manufacture shall be stamped on the dome plate of each signal and painted with a protective coating of paint. The Signals have a maximum service life of 5 years (60 months) from the date of manufacture after which they should be disposed of in line with section 13.
