1/6/08
|
Winchcombe is the next station south of
Toddington,
and also has lots to interest the enthusiast. This is the view back towards
Toddington.
|
The view from the other end of the station, towards
Gotherington.

|
|
The down advanced starter, at the northern portal of the Greet tunnel.
|
My train passes the up innerhomes, on its way into the up platform.
|
|
|
The up home is a considerable distance further back, before the southern Greet tunnel portal.
|
The signalbox was originally at Hall Green, and has the frame that originally belonged to
Honeybourne West Loop.
|
|
|
The up distant.
|
The down innerhome. Note the yellow disc to its right for movements out of the yard.
|
|
|
The up advanced starter.
|
The down home. |

Inside the signalbox. |
|
|
Some of the equipment on the block shelf, including some signal repeaters
styled to look like miniature signal arms.
|
The token instrument for the section to
Toddington.
|
|
|
Its counterpart for the section to
Cheltenham Racecourse
was lacking a galvanometer needle, so an external one has been fixed above the window frame.
|
The central portion of the box diagram.
|
|
|
A clearer view of the up starters, and the entrance to the yard.
|
28/7/13
The down innerhome has now been replaced with a splitter, allowing trains from
Toddington
to be signalled into either platform and making both platforms fully bi-directional.
|
|
|
A face-on view of the same signal.
|
This yellow disc (also visible in the photo above) controls exit movements from the down yard, but may be passed
in the normal position by shunting moves onto the headshunt.
|
|
|
The view towards
Gotherington
from the road bridge, with the up innerhomes and the down advanced starter beyond.
