I always flash and toot other RS drivers when I see them It's like a nice mutual respect thing. Kinda makes you feel "in the club"

ginge

stand on the end of a platform and wait for an express train to come thru, make sure you are wearing an orange hi-vis vest or jacket and then put both arms up in the air

this will signal the driver to stop in emergency fashion. and so will the following ways

Red flag held steady at shoulder height
Red light held steady at shoulder height
White light waved vigoursly (at night)
both arms raised in the air




now be sensible

be sensible

or if you put 3 detonators down 20 metres apart then this also signals to the driver that there is danger within 1 1/4 miles so stop your train
