Searchlight Signals

Anyone know much about these? I'm currently modelling a GWR area layout (not for MSTS...but there isn't an appropriate forum section!) and I would like to know more about Searchlight colour aspect signals.

I have read that the GWR did have some installed during the 1930s - I'd like to know what areas (i.e. was it just London?) and their usage.

Thanks

Alan

Cardiff General and Bristol Temple Meads were also equipped with these signals. I don't know about any other areas.

Thanks for the quick reply Tony!

Do you know about what time period? I'm modelling 1958-1960 should I should be covered for that

(can probably introduce some standard 3-aspects in as well in places!).

If you're interested in a MAP of the layout I'm developing its available here:

They were definitely in use during that period.
