Slaggyford
The South Tynedale Railway extended to Slaggyford in 2017 necessitating provision of a new signal box to the same design as its predecessor which was demolished in the 1960s.
This video, which is split into two parts, chronicles the installation and subsequent testing of a mechanical lever frame in that signal box.
These videos are intended for viewing at a maximum screen resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. Please be aware that viewing at a larger size may result in a loss of clarity and a 'grainy' appearance.
Part 1: Installation
Part 2: Testing the Locking
