The relay room was the first item to be done, to replace thre aging one behind the old box. IT is a brick building that allws us plenty of room to wire the area anew. After a extensive consultation with members, and the formation of a sub committee, the Signalbox was tendered and is under way, well underway. It has progress rapidly since August 2003. See the photos below for a quick guided tour. It is now completed and in use, with the aid of a few items out of the old box... Here is an account (as featured in our "Diamond Rails") of our experience... | |
