Does anyone know of, or even better have a link to a photo of, an overhead GWR signal box.

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard,

Is Perranwell what you're looking for, I've just discovered this

http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/cornwall-railway-gallery-branches-west.html

and scroll through. There are loads of Cornish pics I've never seen before and I'm going to spend some time rooting through them.

Hi,

That's interesting - I started a P4 layout based on Perranwell some years ago, but it's never got beyond the track and ballast stage - perhaps one day - in the meantime I'll look out the book with the photos and track plan if anyone is interested.

Richard,


I think such things were exceedingly rare and Perranwell has been modelled to death - especially on 7mm scale layouts which are smaller than they should be!

Good Luck,

Howard.

Hi,

British Railways Past and Present No 17 Cornwall has a photo. BRJ 27 on Falmouth Branch says its unique.

Definitely not a standard GWR Design though!

Modelled to Death? Not seen one myself but then again I've been in France for 5 years!

Thank you! Lovely set of pictures too, so sad :-(

Still, it looks like I can invoke modelers licence for Soddinghams overhead signal box.

Cheers all
Richard
