Immingham Reception Sidings Signal Box. Colour Self Portrait
I put a black and white version up of this as I think they suit B & W but I thought again that the colour version is worthy of posting.
What becomes more obvious here is the Green of the IFS switch panel, the white of the box diagram and just what a lovely rich mellow tone the slide frame has after 100 years or so of daily use.
Also bottom left the red glow of the electric heater, not a pot bellied stove but a lot less fuss and it does give a warm cosy glow and kicks out a good chunk of heat.
It's one of my favourite boxes to work, 100% freight, nothing happens in a hurry but it can get very congested very quickly.
Currently it's very steady as post the coal levy kicking in in April no coal is loading from the reception or NCB sidings.
