Between Wareham and Holton Heath is Sandford Kiln Sidings.
In the 1955 era this was worked by a ground frame and controlled by the Wareham signal box.

Wareham Up Main Avd Start Signal is a 1 link signal to capture the siding.

Sanford Kiln Siding had a ground frame but unsure about ground discs.
They have been added for game play but could be removed and wrapped or hidden discs.

The disc into the siding.

The disc out of the siding.
If discs existed they would be worked by the lever frame and locked when set for mainline running.
This will be developed as info is confirmed.

I believe there were none. Shunting used the mainline. No train could be locked in there.

SRS say that in 1974, this was a 2-lever ground frame. One was for the electric release mechanism, the other controlled the switch from the mainline into the siding and the derailing switch protecting the mainline.
