Hello everyone!
For a long while I have been gathering information about a specific set of East German VEB WSSB signalling equipment. Specifically, what was exported to Romania back in 1982. It's a unique setup since it was adapted to fit the needs of the CFR (which used (and stil does) a signalling system based on what the Soviet Union used, together with some German and Austrian elements, but this is beyond the scope of this post).
The only complete signalling setup (that I know of) was implemented at the Videle sorting yard and the neighboring station, with the odd signal thrown across the country.
Speaking about the signals, they're of a very interesting design, being the standard WSSB HL setup with the lights arranged in the standard OSShD pattern

I am writing this post to ask if anyone knows any more information about the system, as there is surprisingly little to be found on the internet about it, mostly being centered on the remotely-controlled shunter at the Videle yard. In German language, there is just a brief mention of the system being exported.
I figured that since this is a German system, this would be the best place to ask.
Unfortunately, the Videle system has been torn down and replaced some years ago, leaving me with no way to properly document it. I would be grateful if anyone could find anything interesting about this system, be it history, technical drawings or anything else.
