18B Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hi, would anyone happen to know when eactly this box closed, as I understand it carried on for a while after closure of the through route in order to turn backl the passenger trains? Also any other info about the box would be interesting to read, There's a little bit here: http://www.signalbox.org/branches/nfl/hadfield.htm and this is what got the interest juices flowing, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. If you take any pictures they would be of interest if you fancy posting them. The signal was just beyond the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gresley Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The image looks to be copied from the Johnson Foxline book I referred you to in the other thread you asked the question in (http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/57964-msl-signalboxes/?p=954408). There is quite a lot of info beneath each photo as you'd expect from Eddie Johnson. In fairness to Eddie & Foxline, I'd refer you to the book. Alastair, Many thanks. Have now got a copy. gresley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
