Neath & Brecon Junction signal box (GWR, 1892) SS749979 
 Neath and Brecon Junction signal box took a little finding and was extremely difficult to get a picture of. It now handles a handful of trains per week as virtually all of the coal traffic has dried up. All that remains is a class 66 trip up the valley to the Onllwyn washery plant and even this working is a little irregular. I suspect the end will come soon for this GW Type 5 box dating from 1892. Whilst the box is very reasonable condition, still having its finials on the gable ends, I am not sure about the authenticity of the front door that looks as though it was picked up from the local DIY store!
