As the beginning of a medium/long term project to provide a traditional signalbox to show future generations, two Signal Lever Frames has kindly been donated by National Railway Museum which are not required by them.

10 January 2013 Blackmores of Yeovil collected the frames as part of a return trip (to minimise costs) using their specialised vehicle to get under a low bridge at York.

The larger frame was originally is use at Rhoose Signalbox (South Wales) whilst the smaller was at Georgemas Junction (Scotland).

14 January 2013 Even Blackmore's lorry could not get under the low bridge leading to the Centre so, in appalling weather the frames were moved round using a tractor and sledge. The frames now reside in the Engine Shed until required.

Some other work has already been carried out and a ground signal on one of the Engine Shed roads has been put in position after refurbishment.
