New Signals

Due to the large track extensions being currently made at Myrtle Street Station, to handle the extra traffic, all staff on the EALR are working overtime, producing the necessary infrastructure. These two signals have just been turned out ready to be put in place and roughly follow the GWR practice of lower quadrant working though in the somewhat 'quirky' style of the EALR.

Bought off 'that' auction site for the princely sum of £3.95, these lovely vintage wood and tinplate signals, which are perfect in scale (give or take a bit) have been lightly restored with a little paint and straightening of the wires and will now have a new lease of life on the new station area. You can never have too many signals!
