Free to a good home - various railway signalling documentation 08/09/2023 at 15:14 #153240

Hi,

We've had my father-in-law's old railway (mainly signaling related he was in the S&T around Hitchin) documents in our loft for a few years and my wife's decided to get rid of it.
She did make enquiries of some specialists but they were not interested.
So if anyone here is interested, for the cost of postage, she's happy to let them go to a good home.
Here's a link to 60-odd photographs.


E-mail me at peter.bennet@SimSig.co.uk if interested in anything. Some of the titles of the booklets might be hard to read - I can clarify what they are if anyone's interested. There is some hardware that would probably have to be on a (Biggleswade) come-and-collect basis.

You have say a week (till 15th) before we find an alternative disposal method.

Peter

What's the red book in 20230907_171459.jpg? I can't read the title - it's too dark.

In case there's limited interest in the track diagrams, have you thought about the likes of https://signalbox.org/? They might be interested.

I think people there might be interested in all the stuff, actually.

It's difficult to read in real life too but it's a Standard Codes for Telegrams book and appears to be dated 1 July 1950.
