Ray Vincent Grey signal box, now moved to the dry side of the wall when we where doing the erection of the old rail bridge section as a display. Hi ya Jeff, long time? Spent a bit of time visiting the box in the 70's & 80's. So nice to see it looking so good after the renovations, was worth shifting it.
