Coventry Railway Centre sept 2008

after the sun came out i jumped in the car to see the aircraft museum. when id finished there i popped in next door for a look around the Coventry Railway Centre, got talking to the bloke who runs it with others
and there are having a really bad time with vandals etc smashing the place up stealing the copper wire.

anyone know what this means?


id say its only worth a visit if your going to see the planes next door plus they also give you a guided tour of the vulcan

It's the coat of arms of the Royal Logistics Corps

Some really good stuff there. Love the signal box and the other, wooden building. Nice find.

The signal box looks to be in good condition. Pity about the vandals breaking the windows.

the other wooden building was little bowden station.

the signal box is in poor condition as the people that put it there sat it on stones
not on a concrete base. so its sucking up the water into the wood.

Pity as I have seen signal boxes that are supposed to be good but a closer look shows the lack of repair and maintenance
