Explanations for some signs......
Could somebody please advise what the following signs indicate?
1. A large 'W'.
2. An 'A'.
3. A 'P'. (Is this to advise to sound the horn?)
4. A 'dome' or 'semi-circle'.
5. An 'F'.
Thank you.
Bruce.

This means "Wait here until the white light is on"Bruce Kennewell hat geschrieben:Could somebody please advise what the following signs indicate?

This sign marks the beginning of a speed restriction (orange: temporary, white: permanent)2. An 'A'.
Correct. The german word for 'sounding the horn' is 'pfeifen'.3. A 'P'. (Is this to advise to sound the horn?)
I think you mean this one:4. A 'dome' or 'semi-circle'.
(In Zusi there is no inscription). It means "stop for all shunting trains". It marks the border of the station.
This means 'Fernsprecher' (telephone). The box contains a simple telephone which you can use to call the next dispatcher.5. An 'F'.

So Thomas is a school-teacher?
The poor chap....I don't envy him.
Now...can someone please tell me what these "things" are.... the little white "chimney pots" that are dotted along each railway line?
Thanks,
Bruce.

Yeah. Physics and mathematics ... high school.Bruce Kennewell hat geschrieben:So Thomas is a school-teacher?

By the way, Bruce: Did you drive a train of an Austrian Line (ÖBBKlettertour; or the ÖBBArlbergbahn from http://www.zpaerlbach.de/dl_beta.html ) in Zusi? I think, because of the difference Austria - Australia ...

Hi,

Max Senft
hmm ... the name for the German "Gymnasium" is grammar school, I thought. So he would be a grammar school teacher. Or are the new teachers called high school teachers due to the changes made in the field of the certificate names?Arthur Pohl hat geschrieben:Yeah. Physics and mathematics ... high school.

Not so sure about that, but the Bavarian government is currently working on reducing the Gymnasium to high school level (8 instead of 9 years, 60% less content )Max Senft hat geschrieben:Hi,hmm ... the name for the German "Gymnasium" is grammar school, I thought.

Usually you have every 200m a so called "Hektometertafel" besides the track. On electrified lines these signs are placed at the catenary (masts?).Bruce Kennewell hat geschrieben:Mileposts?Christian Gründler hat geschrieben:Mileposts.
But there isn't even a kilometre between each pair, let alone a mile!
Are they spaced at 250-metre intervals, perhaps?
Bruce.

I've already known the thing with the 8 years, but 60% less content??? How should that work? Do they want to enlarge the duration of university?Thomas Gabler hat geschrieben:(8 instead of 9 years, 60% less content )

Be happy that you have to handle Bavarian circumstances! Here in Lower Saxony the school system is much worse. After the intra German PISA Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg were at the upper level, the social democratic northern states were at the other side. I think our realschulen even cannot reach the level of your hauptschulen.Thomas Gabler hat geschrieben:Not so sure about that, but the Bavarian government is currently working on reducing the Gymnasium to high school level
To get a little bit more on-topic: Like the school system the public transport is very bad in Lower Saxony. To improve the operating of the tramway here in Brunswick is almost inpossible.

In university courses have the same starting point than in germany at least in the first semesters. It just reminds me of my first course in mathematics. The professor evidenced the existance of the "number zero". It took two hours to present the evidence to the students.
