Preston Station - the Model

[@brendanleaf8925]

I worked in Preston No.1 box during the 1960's. It was operated by 2 signalmen and a ' box lad' who took all the messages from other boxes and recorded approaching and passing times of trains. Working there gave me a great sense of responsibility but it was always a pleasure to come to work. The best job I ever had !! 🚂🚂 😊😊

Good lord, I've never seen so many levers in my life. An outstanding model!

[@linesided]

Labour of love - beautiful craftsmanship.

[@IanPnai]

Just...WOW!

The lever switches in the lever frame were made by AGW Controls. They unfortunately had ceased trading by the late 1980s/early 1990s, so Mike did well to buy as many lever switches as he did.
