Exists. Only have a very slight unnoticeable passing interest in Railway signalling (specifically mechanical frame locking). Occasionally does something useful.

he/they/she (I honestly don't mind)
Heres a diagram I did.
Numbering done from what I could find online.

This probably isn't close to what was in real life though the box was Saxby and Farmer.

Just got bored one afternoon really.

Was in East Sussex on Friday and I thought I would have a look round the listed Saxby and farmer box at Holmwood on the journey home

Good to see the original rocker frame is in there (albeit relocked to tappet which it probably had for most of its life) though it's definitely in need of some love.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the rights of right wing activists who deliberately spread fear and hate, can be welcomed. Wow, what a world!

Ever since recorded music attained fidelity on-par with live performances, it could be argued that nobody "needs" to learn to play an instrument.

But luckily we decided the world is a better place when we teach each other how to play instruments so we still do it.

I feel the same about writing.

I found a class 91 almost *checks date, a week ago (I really am not very good at this social media stuff) probably not going to win any railway photography awards any time soon.

just for the record, I have a zero-tolerance policy towards transphobia and if I see it in my mentions it's an instant block.

Class 158s really are a design masterpiece. 35 years on, they’re still virtually all in service and are far better than their contemporaries and replacements.

Probably need to do a introduction post at some point.
Hi.

Here's a not completed virtual model of a spagnonetti block instrument I have on my hard drive.

(Was either this or some Connex Station signs which I drew up for reasons)
