Cowley Bridge

Cowley Bridge Junction demonstration lever frame is based upon the real junction signal box that once sat near Exeter station, the original demonstrator was mobile but after a number of years upon the travelling circuit it was time for a refurbishment and an upgrade, which save to say took over a decade to complete.
The layout now resides at the museum at Romsey Signalbox and is operated thanks to the Friends of Romsey Signalbox on selected open days to the general public.
Our thanks again goes to the volunteers who showed us around during their 2023 June public open day.

I was the person operating in the video and the bells don't actually register if you don't beat them like there's no tommorow 🤣

Not sure if that's unique, but in Germany we have a whole bunch of historic systems still online. Partly because we can't modernize the whole network at once. Partly because it just works.
