Not many interested in this topic, but I'll add one more just for fun.

..... you can tell it's an inspector... he's got his back arched... all signalmen know this isn't good for you, you should "pull" keeping your back straight and using your legs / knees.... (it also means if the wire snaps, you are less inclined to "fly" too far!!)

Yeah - some 'Inspector' he was, where's the cloth?

One more for the archives.

KX box - must have been brand, spanking, new - v rare shot, I would think

I have a few levers from there in my collection and i did own the last illuminated box diagram until i was offered large sums of money for it. It now resides with a chap who has a complete section of frame including locks and circuit controllers etc...

Trainee at Shildon (?)
