Loads of details revealed for modelling. Did you make into the Locking Room too? Kev. Unfortunately not but there wouldn't be much anyway, all electrical by the time of my visit. We also visited Ditton No1, No.2, Ditton PSB (prior to opening) and Runcorn so we were rushing around Edited January 13, 2021 by beast66606 added others 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 One recent find with a signal box lurking in background. Lost in mists of time how I found myself at Worcester or why a NBR fan was so fascinated by such a signal. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippel Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 That picture of Wellowgate - you can see in the background a fish and chip shop, which it was said in the late seventies/early eighties was often visited by an Area Inspector who was single and lived on his own, and that Wellowgate would then get a box visit before/after visiting the chippie. The most visited box in the area!I Paul. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50A55B Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Northallerton, 1982. The LNER built boxes between York and Darlington were quite attractive, in my opinion. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 A few more from around the country in 2014 Hubberts Bridge (different) Downham Market (it was a particulary hot and humid day and you can see the back end of the thundestorm I drove through to get here. Had to stop in layby with around 20 others as the rain was that heavy it was hard to see more than a few tens of yards even at 20mph It seems to have bypassed Downham Market though) Ketton Burscough Bridge Jn Andy 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm told this was the signal box from Dainton Summit, now repurposed as a sailing club at Westbury. And Fairwood Junction in 1978 under some magnificent trees. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
