    That looks like two different boxes to me. Presumably the one in the first picture was a replacement at some time for the one in the second and thirs pictures.

    ISTR some small stations in Scotland which were crossing places on single track lines. Was it between Inverness and Aberdeen? There were small boxes at each end of the passing loop with a single signalman to do all the work, which must have ben fun at times. I think some of them had a bike to go back and forth between the two boxes when trains were passing.

    I think these vans may have gone over to Stores use in the early 1960s. Trying to remember what was in use at Derby Loco Works when I started there in 1961 (60 years ago come the end of this month) there were some older 6-wheel Milk/Fruit/Fish vans in faded red livery, either Gulf red or faded Maroon.

    Alsager East Jc, well most of it, North Stafford, 22 July 1984

    Fossway Road Crossing, somewhere near Lichfield so I presume LNWR, 22 July 1984. Why I got there and only managed to end up with this one picture is lost in the mists of time I'm afraid.

    Wrong way round Andy. The train starts from Caverswall Road, where all the sheds and cafe etc. are located, and goes to Dilhorne Park. The colliery is beyond Dilhorne Park.

    Some of the bottom courses seem to have gone awry as well.

    Just a couple of odd ones today. Must get round to some more scanning, there's still plenty to go at. Shrewsbury Severn Bridge Junction, 3 June 1993 and this rather sorry looking relic at Toton, seen on 4 Feb 1994

    Whitwell in the 1980s some time, probably 1983ish. I'm not sure where this one is though. The Pre-Group Atlas lists two Whitwells, one in Derbyshire and one in the Isle of Wight, it's neither of them. It's open to the membership!
