RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 28, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi Dave, Just catching up on a couple of days-worth of your increasingly excellent postings. Going back to DAS000419 and the Down Home at Gobowen South, interesting to see the signal motor at the top of the signal post, not seen that before. Do you know if this was a "one-off" or were there other examples on the WR? Regards, Ian. Don't know any other examples but ... - this was an upper quadrant conversion, on a platform, next to (and diagonally opposite the box) a level crossing - so not a common situation !

Do you know if this was a "one-off" or were there other examples on the WR? Regards, Ian. i think its because its a short signal (due to the sighting with the canopy) located on the platforn end next to the exit ramp the motor is above to stop the public 'meddling fingers' getting caught in the mechanism when its moving! also the machynlleth signal pic your not sure about, yes it is but looking back towards the station from dovey jn direction Edited August 28, 2018 by big jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted September 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2018 Wonderful wonderful memories with this post #189 Dave. I am really glad you posted them. I’m sure I have ‘pulled’ that signal, in the first photo DAS000499, many times. It was a LOT easier than that distant that crossed the barren triangle towards Glossop! “Leander” looks absolutely magnificent in DAS000506. My Great Uncle “Ab” was caretaker at Dinting Railway Centre for many years and I have looked closely at all these pictures but can not see him. I’m not surprised, he didn’t like crowds and would be shut himself away in his “Van” on days like this. I have many happy memories of sitting in that caravan (DAS000514) watching the motion of large steam engines passing within feet of my pressed against his window nose. Sadly, my Great Uncle Ab passed away this week and with your permission, Dave, I would like to re-post DAS000514 to our family group on WhatsApp. Kev. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Some wonderful sets of photos on these pages. NW England and N Wales - an area that I rarely visited mainly due to scarce finances (and I would tend to be halted by the 'delights' at Crewe). The photos from N Wales and Merseyside are giving me clues as to why my attempts to see all the 24s and 40s became difficult towards the end. I was probably not looking in the right places.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 1, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2018 What were the metal posts for at Birkenhead, did the shed roof once extend further or did they have another purpose? The shed was cut back at some stage, the LNWR half of the shed was halved in 1951 when the diesel facilities were built but I think the roof was cut back later than that.
