Got this at a garage sale, unopened. Victorian railways existed under that name from 1859 until a rebrand in 1974.

The heritage #railway at which I #volunteer is fortunate to have an example of a #signalbox and mechanically interlocked lever frame to operate the points and signals for one of our stations. I was able to do a day in there this week and took a few pictures which I'll share over the next few days.

The picture below shows a part of the frame: more details in the alt text.

I present: the #Ghost of J549!

Usually in red-lined black livery, this loco is being sandblasted as part of periodic maintenance.

She will be repainted soon and should be back at the head of trains later this year.
