Love it David, an original take on a much photographed genre and much the better for it.

Superb shot, David. The image is perfectly centred through the open window of the signalbox. As davidstorm says, a very original take here.

A signalman's view! Very nice, David. I do like the SVR: brilliant engines, even better rolling stock and great stations.

Best wishes,

Andrew
