Jus before the August Bank Holiday we got involved in the new Signal Box at Broadway.
Most of the Signal Post phones are mounted on the side of the Trackside Cabinets so it was just a nut and bolt job,, but these things are rarely simple and two of the fixings were fine but the third had to go through the front internal timber so the bolts we had got specially wernt quite long enough!
The Concntrator unit itself had been in stock for some time and gradually we ironed out the dusty gremlins and interconnected it down into the Locking Room and thence to the external Cable Heads
There is one location a bit different from the others , its a 706CB ( standard apart from having no dial) and it sits in rather a handsome heritage correct pull down cabinet
In fact heres a pic of my original 3000 type prototype which was taken in Sept that year.
The present versions have all been vastly improved and upgraded to almost entirely solid state thanks to Keverns electronic skills and a bit of my dodgy woodwork!
So thats that project completed so now to pay more attention to the Strowger paxes, hoping to keep them working for a few years yet!
Oh nearly forgot, the Team pics, here's (from left to right) Paul, Mike and Kevern) Dont forget young Peter who took the picture!
