I knew that I had taken my trusty step ladder all the way to Scotland on the sleeper and then in the back of two hire cars for a reason! I put it to good effect here to get a bit of height to capture Stirling Middle signal box. It's horribly back-lit but positions to get a picture was somewhat limited. The superb 1901 Type 2 Caledonian box now had been modified from operating a super suite of mechanical signals to a modern set of colour lights. This is a temporary measure whilst the electrification of the lines takes place. The box is a classic design complete with its two chimney stacks and wooden nameboard. Notice the two-bays projecting to right of centre that would have allowed the signalmen to view, flag and communicate with drivers without having to walk to the far end of the lengthy box. It's a shame that the five locking room windows have been bricked up taking away a little of the boxes character when compared to its North sibling, see....
