G'day everyone,
Whilst up in North Lincolnshire the other week my wife and I got chatting to a rail enthusiast who had visited a signal box in the area and explained that much all of the equipment contained in the signal box dated back to pre-grouping. I'm curious to know what happens to all this equipment when a box is demolished; one would like to think that its sold off at auction with the proceeds going to charity but on the other hand I do wonder whether items 'just disappear'.
Any information would be gratefully received!
Kind regards,
Richmond Commuter!
