Preston Station - the Model

We visit Preston Station and it’s signalboxes, thanks to the imagination of Mike Norris who remembers the station from his youth, these memories have over the last 45 years allowed him to create this working model of the station and its signalling.

As Mike notes there is still a lot to do, the station buildings, the birdcage bridge and the signal gantries are still yet to build and its a work in progress, the colour light signals will eventually be turned to semaphores.

Our grateful thanks to Mike for allowing us to see the layout in a quiet period, we shall return one day to see how the layout is operated when all the boxes are manned and that will be something to behold.
