Painting & Decorating

On Wednesday, we set about painting the inside walls of the signal box with two coats of breathable paint. This will allow any trapped moisture to escape, helping to keep everything nice and dry at the same time.



John and Paul worked diligently on constructing the three maintenance access trapdoors that run along the front of the lever frame. These trapdoors will allow for periodic inspection and repair of the lever frame if required.

We are now getting very close to completing the building phase of the signal box, which has been very satisfying. However, inspection of the pictures showing the beginning of the installation of the incredibly complex operating machinery - beautifully refurbished by Tim and his team - means that you can look forward to many interesting blogs yet to come.



And let’s not forget: once we’re open to the public, you’ll soon be able to come and see us, and the ‘box, in the flesh, so to speak.
