Neil,
Should you like to know, 2394 is pictured on a train on the Up Goods line approaching Potters Bar, about to be overtaken by the train further away on the Up Main.

The wide bracket signal structure carries Potters Bar box's Up outer homes for both lines.
The shorter colour-light signal to the left applies to the Down main, and is a notable example of the LNER's truly 'mechanical' variety; the light indications being produced by white electric lamps shining through the coloured glasses in arm-less semaphore signal-type spectacle plates which rose and fell like semaphores, moved up and down by electric motors.
