Just out of curiosity, why are the numbers in the box all over the place?? Usually you have numbers in sequence i.e 1 2 3 etc. However looks absoulutly brilliant. Do you have a selection of bell codes taht you use? Do you work Ab or TCB?

Bits and bobs been added over the years to it.. thats why all the numbers are all over the place lol. We just have one bell to indicate a train approaching a signal. Just the one box on the circuit so no need for any more. And i don't know what Ab or TCB are sorry lol.

Interesting to see how Westinghouse L style frames do not change from country to country, even if this one is based at a miniature railway. I work a Westinghouse L frame at Otahuhu signalbox in Auckland, New Zealand. It is very sturdy and easy to operate. I really do love the ability to feel the interlocking which is something you do not get with Computorised or CTC panels over here where the interlocking is done on the field. Thanks for posting!
