[Signal Box Diagrams]

In this section are a number of Signal Box Diagrams on ex-GCR and ex-GNR lines in Leicetershire and Nottinghamshire, and Tables of Electrical Controls

These are scans of high-quality drawings provided courtesy of Ian Harrop and Carnegie Heritage Centre, Hull. They were originally created by an unknown person. Several carry dates between 1949 and 1976 and they mainly cover a number of ex-GCR and ex-GNR signal boxes in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. All of the originals, except the one noted, are 375mm x 255mm.
