NEVILLE (POP) 1928 - 2008
a fitting tribute to both men, as they both worked there for many years, and now they, & the box are gone !
Taken on the top step of the signal box. Hayley is a fantastic model so much energy and a great laugh, maybe a bit "in your face" but she does have a subtle side.
Alerts me to incoming traffic. Normally they are all off. When a train enters the block, they come on to indicate status.
Stopped over at Signal Return today and picked up two fantastic items:
(1) Notebook from the Paper Rehabilitation Project - made of paper from a warehouse of excess and damaged paper in Detroit. Bound at a printing shop on the East side.
(2) Abandoned Letterhead - Collection of letterhead from various companies in and around Detroit, abandoned for reasons such as mergers or acquisitions, change of address, bankruptcy, logo updates, name change, office moved or closed.
The up starter signal at Amberley is of the later style, built from old rails and with a flat cap: compare this with 'Signal Detail 2'. Note the lamp shining through the green lens.
Beside Arbroath’s harbour, on the sea front, stands an elegant complex of regency buildings. Now the Burgh’s museum, the buildings were built in 1813. Until 1955 these buildings formed the shore station and family living quarters for the light keepers on the Bell Rock Lighthouse which lies 11.5 miles out from Arbroath on a dangerous semi-sunken reef.
Both lighthouse and shore station were built by Robert Stevenson, founder of the famous dynasty of lighthouse engineers
At the Signal Tower you can find out about the fascinating history of the Bell Rock Lighthouse and visit the outhouse to see the massive lens of the last manually operated lamp. In addition, the museum displays reflect the past lives of the keepers' families and other displays tell the story of Arbroath's fishing heritage.
The museum shop and reception are on the ground floor, WCs are available to museum visitors.
I spotted what I assume to be a river signal from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but couldn't get a better look at it.

The relatively modern signal box here at Faversham was built in 1959 when electrification was completed. It lasted until 2011 when it was decommissioned, with signalling transferred to the Gillingham box.
It took a surprisingly long time to attach all the parts and make all the connections to the circuit board. At the time I had no idea how to wire all the Christmas lights (the big bundle of wires on the right).
