Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Re-construction

This was the August 2002 view down the transhipment siding from the car park towards the station area.

Work progressing on the Up Starting Signal which, in the railway's last years, was a typical Southern two rails post with lower quadrant arm. The arm that is to be used for this signal is an upper quadrant so will have to have its spectacle plate changed in order to be authentic. There is, fortunately, a very clear, large size, photograph of the original.

The Down Starting Signal was on a wooden post until the end, so the new one will also be constructed with a wooden post

Vehicles obtained by the railway for use in construction were on an unconnected piece of line in the car park at the top of the transhipment siding.
