Sinsil Bank signal box (GE, 1882) & gates
Sinsil Bank signal box (GE, 1882) & gates 
 For me, the star of this photograph is not the 1882 Great Northern signal box but the incredibly ornate twin doll bracket signal just in front of it. This is despite what appears to be the crass removal of the higher doll using what looks to be oxyacetylene? This scene is at Sinsal Bank just east of Lincoln's city centre where the appropriately named Great Northern Terrace crosses the Sleaford line. The layout is very similar today with all the land to the left occupied by Network Rail and indeed today the rather austere Lincoln Signalling Centre is built where the vehicle is parked in front of the former shed. Notice 31153 stabled at the head of a rake of stock just to the right of the box and the rare blue car that has just crossed the level crossing; when did you last see a Simca 1501 estate or even knew of its existence?
