    Does any one have info on where the original Scout Green signal box name board may be at this moment in time? Reason for asking is our family would like to perhaps purchase the name board if its available .

    I knew a chap back in the 1980s who used to ride behind steam on the mainline a lot (as I did then).

    One night after a CME he invited a few of us back to his house, and in the corner of his living room was the name board
    from Scout Green signalbox.

    I haven't seen him for maybe 25 years so I don't know if he still has it or even if he is still with us.

    I too would like to see the board again as it has many memories for me.
