    Beast66808 your such a tease... Two good pictures of the motor operated distant outside Norwich Thorpe Junction but just a glimpse of the fogging arrangements..

    I've found one picture of the inside of the box you can have if you want. I took loads but can't find them at the moment..

    I love the circuit controllers!

    I don't think i can help with the plan, but i will have a look. This is the signalbox diagram.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pwayowen/8294352350/in/photostream

    I have something similar for an upper quadrant arm. There is an angled mirror (not quite at 45 degrees) behind the legend. I can nip outside and take some photo's if of interest.

    About 1/8 of my photo collection of WR signals..

    A couple of views of a Westinghouse signal motor. There are different versions for upper or lower quadrant operation but it would be hard to spot in OO scale..

    A BPRS signal motor.. Watch out this is a big one, ex Cambridge 110v DC and capable of dynamic indication. The 10v DC version is not as long. Each one comes with it's own hernia. This signal had one 10v BPRS motor and one Westinghouse motor. My Westinghouse motor in action along with a MET V GRS solenoid disc... I have a BPRS solenoid lower quadrant shunt and a Westinghouse Solenoid disc i can upload short movies of if there is interest.

    Unfortunately i took one look at what was needed to get photo's of the three types of signal motors i have and just gave up for today. I'll have help over the weekend to tidy up a bit to get clearer pictures. My apologies, a bit under the weather here.

    Here's an oldie.. I'll take some phots of signal motors tomorrow in daylight..

    Not rail built. LNER Concrete Articles Catalogue Edging, Garden, light (not when you've shifted 50 of them) Part No661/7/43 (95lbs) with Corner Block 88/7/40 (85lbs)

    It does have me baffled at the moment but this photo is out there.. http://www.rcts.org.uk/features/mysteryphotos/show.htm?img=Y-97-03&serial=1

    I got a rather nice book on King's Lynn docks for Christmas. I was rather surprised to see a picture of containers being unloaded from a ship onto freightliner flats. Not something i would normally associate with King's Lynn.

    I renewed the point between the Bedford - Bletchley and Flyover line a few weeks back. The trapping arrangements changed slightly coming off the flyover.
  15. LNERGE
    The section from Bedford to Sandy was always single.

    At long last i have found the Towcester Train Register Book

    Not my idea a hasten to add. I'm simply testing afterwards.

    It looks like i have the privilege of 'fixing' some of these signals in the very near future.. Simply chop off the bit of post with the offending lower quadrant arm and plonk an LED searchlight on top. Simples. Photo on Monday if all goes to plan.

    They operate on a polarised circuit and have normal and reverse detection contacts. That's close enough for me to simulate the real thing. I use them to simulate real point motors. Hence my comment about the contacts being a little underrated. They are operating 50 volt BR930 series relays. I've not had any problems though. http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Ely_Dock_Junction_L_Frame.html and a rather superb bit on the current arrangements at LLS.. http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Liverpool_Lime_Street.html

    I have around 40 Fulgurex point motors in use. I have not had any problems at all with them despite their use in a rather harsh environment. The contacts are a little underrated for what i do with them but again no problems encountered. I can't comment on their ability to drive anything mechaincally though as none of mine are attached to anything.

    It was from the 'new' box. I don't have it now unfortunately. I can remember you could see the ghost of the turntable where it had been scraped off the diagram. I will ask the chap i sold it to if he still has it.
  22. LNERGE
    Me too. I think the standard of modelling is incredible. Although of patch for me i do have considerable interest in the location. As a teenager i bought the box diagram via Collectors Corner. It had been rather brutally cut in half and me and a school friend carried the two pieces from Euston to King's Cross. It just fitted in the brakevan of a 312.

    Somewhere lurking in the depths of my collection is one of the last train registers from Towcester box. I've been looking for it half-heartedly for awhile. When it surfaces i'll post a few pages on here.
  24. LNERGE
    I totally agree. Must have been like herding cats.

    You can always tell when there is someone different on the other end. I turned up at one box (many years ago) and very unofficially started working it. Within minutes the phone rang and the enquiry was made.. ''Is Richard working the box?'' The signalman replied that i was. Then came '' Does he want to come round here and work this one, i've hurt my back''
