Closed signal box, Millicent Street.

That has to be the most convincing model of a disused signalbox I've ever seen.

The crossing boards look nice and rotten too!

With remnants of its unofficial "Redland roof tiles" name visible, very scruffy 08909 waits in Cambridge sidings for its next movement.

Class 25 7581 arriving at Kinlochmore with a short freight from North Ballachulish in the summer of 1969. The sun is out for a change.

Having just parked my Claud Butler on the station platform, I’ve nipped over the bridge to take a quick shot of the station building from the goods yard. It looks like rain is on the way, so I might just put the bike on the afternoon train back to Fort William.

Claud Butler bikes. Myself and my mates always wanted one of those. Centre pull brakes and Campag' gears. Never happened though.

Not a Claud Butler but a Raleigh Grand Sport with GB brakes and Campag' gears. Best bike I've ever owned should have kept it.

My father bought one of the early ones with metallic red paint, chromed forks and 4 speed BSA pattern derailleur gears, it cost him £27 back in 1954 which must have been an absolute fortune. It lived in the front room of my grandparents house, as even then, fancy bicycles tended to walk.

 

I had a Vindec with Campagnolo fittings and Weinmann centre pull brakes I used on time trials, followed by a Peugeot Clubman that I still have, although it's become a real woodsman's axe over time!

I bought a Humber snipe for £25.00 in about 1969. Just shows the value on different things.

 

Woodsman axe or Triggers broom. :-)
