I love the old NER signal in picture No.2 (at old Marley Hill station), even if it isn't an original, though I wish that someone would fit it out with its missing pieces, viz: its spectacle lenses; lamp bracket; lamp and (this is a bit more difficult to replace) its finial. I hope there are plans to restore this signal (and perhaps the other ones)
