Midland Railway Rotary Block Instrument. Nice mahogany cased instrument in original, well-patinated condition. All the cast brass description plates are present, the enamel dial is in excellent order and it still has its glazed sealed release label over the 'Train On Line Cancel' plunger.

Category: Block and Bell Instruments
Lot Sold For: £240 (PB 960)

423

Midland Railway pegging block instrument in excellent original condition, in mahogany case with nickel-plated brass fittings. A bit special in that it is fitted with an engraved brass plaque, obviously fitted when the instrument was presented to a signalman on his retirement from Beeston signalbox.

Guide: £100-150


Category: Block and Bell Instruments
Lot Sold For: £100 (PB 1662)

424

Midland Railway non-pegging block instrument with enamel dial. Typically, this instrument has been converted from an earlier telegraph instrument or peg & chain block instrument. (Probably the latter as the screw-hole where the chain was attached to the case can be seen on the right-hand front of the instrument).

Guide: £80-120


Category: Block and Bell Instruments
Lot Sold For: £80 (PB 1662)

425

G.W.R 1947 pattern double-line block instrument. Probably the best designed block instrument ever used on a British railway. Good, original condition with free-swinging needles and both reminder flaps present. Dials are undamaged but could do with a wipe over with a damp cloth. A slightly later example than the other example in this auction, in a comb-jointed case with a single screw securing the lid.

Guide: £120-150


Category: Block and Bell Instruments
Lot Sold For: £150 (PB 1662)

426

Great Central Railway needle-pattern home signal repeater in curved-top mahogany case. A very rare, early instrument in pretty good condition considering its age. A small age-related split in the front of the case on the right hand side, but nothing serious. The dial appears to be silvered, and the top of the case is stamped 'G.C. Ry'. Engraved ivorine description plate reading 'Up Main Home No.7'.

Guide: £150-200


Category: Signalling Equipment
Lot Sold For: £300 (PB 211)

427

G.W.R later pattern Thompson block bell in oak case. Original, grubby but perfectly intact condition. Just needs a good clean. Nickel-plated mushroom pattern bell dome. One knurled side screw is missing.

Guide: £80-120


Category: Block and Bell Instruments
Lot Sold For: £90 (PB 1647)

428

Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway tapper block bell in a typically austere LYR pattern mahogany case. Quite unusual in that most LYR bells were non-tapper, the bell codes being given by plungers on the block instruments. Condition appears to be pretty good but may need a little fettling to get everything to fit together again properly.

Guide: £60-80


Category: Block and Bell Instruments
