Bet you don't have SAND BANK or CARR LOCO s/boxes?.

My world stops around Grantham i'm afraid but odd thing's do slip through the net, not Carr Loco though, but Sand Bank....

There used to be a separate LNW loco shed at Colwick but I don't think it ever had a signal box associated with it. All the descriptions I have seen of the box (WTT's, Appendices etc) have just shown plain 'Locomotive Junction'. A picture of it in 1954 can be found here: dl.dropbox.com/u/60050243/GN44-05-04.jpg

There was also a Locomotive Junction box on the H&BR at Hull, and an Engine Shed box at Percy Main loco shed.

We'll have Doncaster covered if we go on at this rate!

Here is one from our collection on John Saxton's site: http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways ... ster_c.jpg

Lots of other good stuff on there.

I've just done a quick and dirty search on our database and come up with 50 signal boxes in various parts of the country with 'Loco', 'Locomotive', 'Engine' or 'Turntable' in their names.

And that is by no means exhaustive.
