The new signal box is inspired by the existing one in Houyet. The original signal box has not yet been demolished but unfortunately it is in a poor condition.
The dwarf signal guarding ML1 at north Loyall found some visitors of sorts. It seems a few hornets/yellow jackets have made the overhang their home, so you can rest assure we kept our distance.

The colour light signal that guards the crossing at Valley on the down line is numbered VY6, it's seen profiled against the threatening skies of 12 November 2009. It's had some modification recently, thanks to the health and safety police it now sports the latest spec fall arrest cage at the top of the ladder. Has there really been a spate of signal engineers falling off ladders? Hmmm...
One thing that is slightly unusual here is the length of the lens hoods, they are huge, much longer than those found elsewhere. There is at least one more signal controlled by Valley 'box that has these also. Anyone know why?
If any of you are geocachers and read FTF Geocacher magazine, then you know all about Sparticus. Here he is!
WH50 signal at Woodhouse Junction at 10:44 on the 26th of June 2007
You can see in the distance a 'stop board' on the line, this was because the line was closed up to Worksop for a couple of months due to a major landslide between Woodhouse & Kiveton after the floods of 2007 where one line was left suspended in the air with at least a 60' drop beneath it! it sure made working in Woodhouse box VERY quiet for that period for me.

Here you can see inside the first floor where all the levers and gubbins are for operating the junction and nearby track.
A fading sight on the railways, at Kirkham, North Yorkshire. It is still used as a proper signal box as it is on a main branch line coming in towards York. The gates are also automatically closing, so they haven't been replaced with the raising barriers.
One interesting bit that I noticed about English signals that's different from American signals (aside from literally everything else) is that they had ways that the operator could see the lights from directly beside the signal. On the Underground this was via small lenses on the side of the main ones. On Network Rail, this seemed to be a different bevel in one corner of the lens, allowing it to be seen better from that particular angle.
Repeater signals at North Weald in case of fog. I'm guessing it displays green when the home signal displays clear, and yellow when the home displays stop (danger).
