Yes it is a shame when the original cast of a good tv series vanish.
But, nothing endures for ever.
Just like semaphore signals.
Other than semaphores utilized by hysterical mobs here, I doubt that many remain on the dinkum network.
Colour light type, especially LEDs, are much cheaper to employ and maintain.
Plus are generally much more visible to train crew.
I would like to find Rod Taylors time machine to take a trip back to the 1960s - 1970s.
At my age now, I would not need to worry about winning that lottery like I did when concluding school in 1972.
Thankfully I was able to cast my first political vote for Gough.
And, he kyboshed the draft.
Consequently No khaki or 303 for me.
But, being able to attend that 1964 Beatles tour of Oz would be bonzer.
Especially when they lobbed into Adelaide in Croweater country.
A guestimated half of the city population turning out roadside to greet them.
Steve.
