HISTORY OF THE EQUIPMENT
Midland, LMS, BR and others!

We have a wide variety of signalling equipment in use on the Railway, from various origins, and even more being prepared for use or being stored for future use. We do have quite a stock of spares which we are willing to share with other groups or societies. These range from AC relays to upper quadrant components and Midland Railway signal patterns for castings.

More items will be added to this page as and when time permits!
