Davey Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 There was an ex LNWR elevated box at Smethwick Rolfe Street, albeit situated above a siding, on the line line between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton High Level. It was demolished sometime in the early 1960's and replaced with a conventional lineside one, 50 yards or so, further north towards Wolverhampton.

Marshall5 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Bolton Station Down 'Box was an example of an ex L&Y elevated box. I always thought that it would make a nice model. Ray. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well, if we're moving on to LNWR elevated boxes... But the OP's enquiry was about Midland boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the most famous. Edge Hill No 1. I was trying to find one of the Eric Treacy photos of it, but couldn't find any. I hope a Jack Nelson model will suffice. http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/Modelling/layout_jn_dio5.php Jason Superb modeller Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
