Locking room view of Romsey’s Signal Box’s 23-lever frame by Stevens & Sons, with the locking table overhead.
Not quite symmetrical as the frame was extended by a couple of levers at the right hand end.

A Southern Railway semaphore signal, white lattice post with black base, red signal arm raised, with its Lego mini-me in the same position in the foreground
Return to Romsey, please
Romsey’s down home signal (no.5) in Lego, alongside the Real Thing.
10 years this month since Lego Romsey & Halterworth made its first visit to the Museum, good time to call back and plan the next project (not Lego) #SignalBoxSunday #SemaphoreSignal #Lego

Romsey signal box and my Lego mini-me of the box in front, 2016.
From a 2016 simple signalling school demonstrator on just one long board, to a full exhibition loop layout which won the ‘Best In Show’ Trophy at 2024 Fareham Railex. The signal box is positioned with the trophy behind, with some of the fleet - DEMU Thumper, Class 33, Plasser crane, with the Romsey sign the trophy. 100% Lego, Absolute Block!

Romsey signal box ‘layout’ (just a signalling school demonstrator at this point) on its first display, at Romsey Signal Box museum, Feb 2016. The box and Romsey’s down home signal, built with a lattice post (as was the real thing) is shown in front of a searchlight signal showing a green aspect in the museum
Me standing in the middle of the layout, leaning over the layout and demonstrating how the levers operate the semaphores (mechanical & pneumatic ) and the colour light signals (electrical) to a group of visitors, younger and older. Visitors can operate the levers on this interactive layout. Basingstoke show 2023, one of my favourites Layout exhibition portfolio https://www.flickr.com/gp/owenthesignal/7Wy7Vq4fmC
10 years ago, I built the first version of my Romsey #modelrailway layout. #SignalBoxSunday
From a small ‘signalling school’ demonstrator, now a full exhibition layout, 100% Lego
#BluebellRailway, 27/8 June is likely its last show.
Last chance to work the levers, hope to see you there!

This is one of those signal boxes you just have to visit, much like the one at I believe Hexham (which I still owe a visit!)
The box at Bamber Bridge, in the cold. I believe the scaffolding is there to stabilise it (I'm sure someone will tell me!)

#SignalboxSunday Returning from Whittlesey with @bennybizzle1.bsky.social yesterday we visited the former GER box at Kings Dyke crossing, built in 1899. I remember waiting at these gates a time or two in the past on the A605. The crossing is now fenced off & replaced by a new bridge. 6/12/25

Jones the Steam and Ivor wake Owen the Signal in his box as the signal is against them. ‘Is it early you are, Jones the Steam?’ says Owen.
Jones the Steam: ‘No, it’s late you are, Owen the Signal. Pull your little lever back. We’ve got work to do.’

#SignalboxSunday After the two shots of No.2 box last week here's Stockport No.1 box which is at the opposite end of the station & is almost as impressive. Sun wasn't ideally placed but couldn't let our visit go by without a shot of this one too. 12/9/25

#SignalboxSunday Stockport No.2 basks in the autumn sunshine during my recent trip to the northwest with @kingy69beard.bsky.social. An impressive structure which, dating from 1870, is slightly older than No.1 box at the south end of the station. #Stockport 12/9/25
