Mid-Rail

Any BR Modern Image or Robin Hood line collectors following the page?

If so I am offering the chance to acquire this double-sided box sign from Sutton Parkway station in Notinghamshire, the station located between Kirkby in Ashfield & Mansfield on the Robin Hood line between Nottingham and Worksop.

This particular was one of two such signs fitted at the roadside entrances to the two station car parks found on either side of the station; this particular sign being the one located on Penny Emma Way on the Worksop-bound side of the station.

Recovered by myself in 2018 in my previous life as a railway maintenance supervisor after the base of the steel column gave way in high winds. Railway regulations at the time meant that because the Low Moor Road sign was intact, there was no obligation to replace this sign, and it was duly saved from the scrap skip with kind permission from the TOC at the time.

Overall the sign measures approximately 7ft tall and approximately 3ft wide. Despite its fall to the ground both sides of the sign remain complete and joined securely, though one side does have a gouge in it from the impact.

Due to the size and weight this item is collection ONLY from the Newark on Trent area in Nottinghamshire.

Early bird price is £150 or near offer before it is listed on the main Mid-Rail site.

Please drop me a DM or SMS / WhatsApp message to 07766 770750 if interested in purchasing.

Thank you

Ben

Today was the first day in the lull between Christmas and New Year where eating, drinking and vegging out was actually quite boring, so this afternoon we added a few new items to Mid-Rail - mostly cap badges, but also a superb condition copy of the Book of BR Station Totems by Brennand & Furness.

If you too have found yourself restless and a bit bored, why not head over to Mid-Rail and see if we have something to tempt you?
