Great Missenden signal box

Looking on the MHR web site today. Anyone with a free weekend can help move this piece of railway heritage back to the MHR

is it just a box ore is ther still the inerds lever frame block instamnts etc glad its being saved

 

Good to hear of this piece of preservation, but it's too late for the goods station building at Harrow, it's been demolished as part of a housing development of the old Metropolitan goods station site.

Regards

 

What are the Mid-Hants going to use it for?

 

I'm lead to believe it's going to be used as an education tool to show the general public how a signal box works. I've been told it will be installed at Ropley on the top car park area.

 

No it is not Lee, it is going into Medstead yard.

Unless this has been changed in the last few days.

Reading the MHR web site today there has been a change of date for the removal of the signal box at Great Missenden to next weekend 23rd/24th Oct. More information on the MHR web site.

Now in Station Approach at Medstead Lee:

I can see it if I look out of our office window, as it is temporarily being stored in the corner of the business park car park (by kind permission of the landlord in agreement with MHR) where I work which is just down from Medstead and Four Marks Station until such time it can moved to its new home.

 

One of the Monday lads tells me it is being moved to Ropley on Wednesday by road. Shame I'm working I would have liked to have seen it being craned in.
