Ballasting and signal box shots.
A few spare minutes at the end of todays session allowed me to take some snaps so that you can see what's going on (and what's not!). Some photographs of the signal box were available on Fotopic before it went under, so I'm posting a few pics here in case anybody may be interested.
View towards the station showing the North Wales Coast mainline disappear into the distant clutter. Just off to the right is the entrance to the ballast sidings.
The box has yet to be fitted with fire buckets, door handles and other things. Lets get a bit closer...below are the doors giving access to where the point rodding mechanisms would once have been.
The entrance looking through the door...
Inside can be found the kitchen and leading off is the small bathroom.
Just behind us is the old frame with instruments.
The bathroom window is open...something must have died! Note the extractor fan.
The ballasting is almost finished, yet to be sprayed the correct colour when the track gets the same treatment. Here are a couple of views looking from the platform, I don't think the scale of the stuff looks too bad:
Things will start to look better soon(ish). Hope you all like it.
