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
