Group shot!
The Kumabolo N faces are rather faded/light compared to my usaggie ones. I think it's because they're darker in general. But it still photographs really nicely so I'm not complaining.

A few long term rail contacts on Flickr will know that for many years my dad has been looking for an image of this signal box. It was the first place he worked and no matter where he looked or who I spoke with we couldn't find a photo of the box. Everything changed this week. Not just one picture but two came to light. This one was purchased by dad and shows the box and an unknown entourage at some point prior to the Great War.
The box was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1893 and closed by British Railways in 1970. I will let dad supply a few additional notes.
Signalmen were: Clifford Dickinson, Arthur Burton and Bill Humphreys, working three shifts in turn, 6.0 am to 2.0 pm, 2.0 pm to 10.0 pm and 10.0 pm to 6.0 am, days, afternoons and nights, Monday to Saturday, starting a new shift every Monday. The branch line to Castleford and Methley did not operate on Sunday. Train register lads: John Firth and Keith Matthews, working days and afternoon shift alternate weeks.
The box controlled the up and down main and goods lines to and from London to Leeds, the branch line to and from Methley, the East and West line to Robin Hood, the Lofthouse colliery sidings lines and the goods yard at Outwood. Quite busy at times.
I have a recollection of a then, circa 1954, experimental diesel unit testing on the Methley to Leeds line, it deliberately stopped on the steepest part of the 1 in 49 uphill gradient near the junction with the main line, then set off again with no problems. Steam engines often needed a ‘banker’ engine at the rear to assist them up the incline. My signalman friend remarked, “Well John that’s thefuture, we won’t need steam engines when these take over”.
Train register lads duties were: recording, the exact time of all bell contacts relating to the passage of each train in the registers, (eight entries per train). There were different bell codes for each type of train, a light engine was 2-3 rings, an express passenger train 4 bells, etc. Other duties were receiving and transmitting Morse code telegraph messages, telephoning Leeds Central Control with times of VIP trains, etc. Non clerical duties included keeping the box clean and levers polished, washing the many windows, emptying the chemical toilet and burying it behind the box. Plus the unofficial task of operating the box whilst the signalman had his breakfast or tea. Happy days.

"Looking for something he believes belongs to his mother, twelve-year-old Josh Milton breaks into Old Man Binkley’s garage. As the old man befriends the young boy, Josh becomes intrigued by the stories Mr. Binkley brings to life with the help of things he has hidden away in boxes—stories of people and places around the world. Curious, Josh returns each weekend until one of the boxes reveals a secret that shakes his trust in his own family. Should he run, or should he stay and face his mother who he now knows has lied to him his entire life?"

A southbound train enters Petersfield, passing the Grade II listed signal box which is threatened with demolition by Network Rail in the course of their modernisation work.
The box is a London & South Western Railway Type 3a construction built around 1885 and still contains some original signalling equipment.

I have come to
This place by choice
Of someone else
Why would they
Choose this for me
Bore a hole
And shove me in
Take my wings
Cut ties to my dreams
Turn of all light
And fill the box with
Screams
Soon I became
So close to nothing
That I had almost
Lost myself completely
Until I realized
They left behind
One thing
That lies very deep
Within me
I even had a difficult
Time finding it
But luckily
It was also
Looking for me
This little light
Of thought
Was first just a flicker
Then with every bit
Of hope I could feed it
It grew
Into a flame
So large
I could no longer
Contain it
It ended up
Filling the box
Calming the screams
And helped build up
The once destroyed dreams
So see
A new world
A different reality
Is just one positive
Thought away
So link a few
Together
And you'll soon have
Your freedom
Forever
to use wisely.

In Amsterdam Noord there is a crazy place called NDSM-wharf. It's crazy what's inside the NDSM building and the area surrounding it is crazy as well.
As the official web site states, from the 1920s to the 1980s NDSM was one of the biggest shipyards in the world, then it was converted into "Kunststad", an "Art city", and now it's full of weird buildings, arts installation, and whatever creativity could mean.
This picture was taken in the neighborhood, I couldn't resist to those brilliant colors and the box-shaped houses.
66109 leans into the curve as it heads the 4E98 08:24 Mossend to Tees Dock containers through Alnmouth on the 14th December 2019.
Alnmouth signal box is a substantial North Eastern Railway type NER N3+ opened in 1907.
This box was inspired by some Gothic ivory carvings I saw at The Cloisters in NYC this August. The box ended up a lot more Baroque, but even though I'm a Bauhaus kinda guy, this one is my personal favorite of the series.

47285 propels 6M73 Severn Tunnel Junction - Aintree Metal Box into the factory at Aintree sometime in 1988.
The dirt track in front of the locomotive was a cinder path which led from Parkfield Avenue along the side of the factory to Heysham Road, and behind the camera the locally referred to 'Metal Box Hills', the scene of much young tomfoolery.
The other local landmark in the picture is the 'Movie' chimney, belonging to the Peerless factory on Dunnings Bridge Road, and was an advert for its all purpose cleaning product.

A different arrangement of flaps on this one
Result is similar to the Chopin tato-box
The above config is more efficient, box is bigger.
This was taken with the other picture on Vermunt Stausee Silvretta. Maybe it is boring to show two pictures of the same subject. But when I view to my archive this always leaps to my eye. First I prefer the other one, but now I am with this. I don't know what is the reason, maybe the red aid box, or the line of the stage. I hope you could see it with the first view and tell me...
