Excellent work Mullie, I really like how this layout has progressed and your love of freight workings appeals to my own love of freight trains. Simon

Morning Al, I've just spent an enjoyable 30 minutes at work following your progress and tips within your light hearted thread. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your layout as I did simply reading about it. Regards Simon

Bu##er that's my fault for being too free and easy with the copy and paste, I was trying to link to this http://www.flickr.com/photos/ingythewingy/6169977699/ as it shows the stairs arrangement and the standard window pattern which I can see you've found with the Wellingborough picture, the extension on the Down end of Camden No1 appears to be a relay/battery room for the associated colour lights. I've a soft spot for the Type 13 as my first job on the railway was at Watery Lane Shunt Frame (Tipton)http://www.flickr.com/photos/50619197@N07/4863688894/ , a 50 lever example much reduced from it's heyday but still with a hint of it's former glory. It's a pleasure to view your progress Iain Simon

This is a LNW Type5 design. The name escapes me for the moment, once I get home from work I could dig out my SRS Signalling books. Simon

Late to the thread but having worked my way through the pages and comments it's an excellent layout with some real work gone into creating the atmopshere of this well known location, regarding Camden No1 the original box was a LNW Type 5 design cabin on the steel framework which was fitted with a Webb powerframe, this box was then replaced in 1940 with the advent of the Blitz by a LMS Type 13 ARP design signal box with non-standard narrow front windows as seen here at Wigan Wallgate http://www.flickr.com/photos/ingythewingy/6733376467/in/photostream/ (ignore the BR replacement secondary glazing units but you can where the original windows would have been from the concrete frames) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ingythewingy/6733379229/ to show the difference here is a standard Type 13 as you can see the box windows are the same height all the way around. Looking forward to seeing ever more progress. Simon
