According to the article on the SREmG web site they were 3'6'' Bulleid - Firth Brown ( BFB ) wheels. https://sremg.org.uk/electric/class70.shtml

The mobile crane is possibly one of these - https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/628041110509966768/ Earlier photo showing the new box in 1954 - https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=36407&search=Nr.+Beckenham+Junction&category_id=64&page=5 Back of the new box, the front similar to that of Hither Green - https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=120750 Item in the 4 foot is known as a 'spider' it's to do with the 3rd rail, is the shorter and easy answer. Peco dummy point motors SL-47 Resignalled around 72-73' I think

The person responsible for uncoupling/coupling up would have gone 'in between ' from the platform side, no need to go near the juice rail.

Thanks for the Harwich branch photo's, brings back some great memories.

Sorry , Karhedron. Looks more like the side of Feltham shed with the windows blocked out. Windows here - End of building and chimney here - https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=128923

You can get change over reed's , whether or not they would be suitable, I don't know. Example here- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-pcs-3-pin-glass-reed-relay-magnetic-switches/173211459577?epid=22037967186&hash=item2854351ff9:g:LUEAAOSw~8leSDwE

I think one of those might have been the Thursday working from Acton Yard to Norwood Junction.

No, no. You want 2 bridges and 45 beats.

Found this if it's any good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawlish_railway_station#/media/File:Dawlish_Signal_Box_(Disused),_13-5-87._-_geograph.org.uk_-_1710632.jpg

It's a very 'straight lined ' diagram of all the TPO workings in 1958. If you look at some of the stations, your see which one's terminated and which continued thro' . For example, the Midland TPO departs Newcastle - York - Sheffield - Derby - Tamworth - Birmingham - Gloucester - ( terminates at ) Bristol. The little circles with a number inside it, has either a 'Hook' or 'Arm' or both indicating pick-up or drop off points on route. It includes some of the names, the Up/Down Special ( Night Mail fame ), Great Western TPO, East Anglian TPO.

Penrith, site of the last TPO exchange.

Thanks Chris, I stand corrected.

3rd picture down is of a Treadle. Electrically locking the points to stop a side swipe if anything were to head down the road on the left and possibly to indicate a loco etc standing at that position on the end of the platform.

Just at the end of those sidings was the S&T training school iirc

Started there at 16, so about '78 then moved over to the ODM at Victoria. ( left a longer reply on your 'Board' )

Only remember the 1 steam crane, went there with the Boiler inspectors once. Did other jobs at Woking station, mainly the goods lifts. I was based under the station at Waterloo, next to the BRS/Parcel vehicle repair shop.

Fire training and the First aid were at CJ, out the station and turn right up the hill. Went there for both when I joined the ODM at Waterloo.

Give that man a coconut!

Is it A) a class 73, B) a class 50 50001 or C) neither https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370-Lima-L205170-Diesel-Class-73-50001-in-BR-Blue-plus-4-carriages/174647352884?epid=647537378&hash=item28a9cb1e34:g:NkIAAOSw1GpgIR2j
