Whilst the loco shed is busy with the 10-year overhaul of No. 7, other areas of the railway have not been in hibernation. The signalling and telegraph department have been working on the signal box where the installation and testing of a token machine is complete and ready for the changeover to EKTs from the current staff system in operation between Maespoeth Junction and Corris. New interlocking for the lever frame with dogs made in house by Phil Scott has been installed and undergone final adjustments and testing. Meanwhile, work continues in the carriage shed with the painting of coach No. 24.
In this short video, head of S&T Samuel Knappett runs us through the working of the lever frame with the new interlocking dogs in place.
