Product Description
A first class example of a Great Central Railway split case tapper block bell plated O.A & G.B JC. which is Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Junction, The Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Railway was intended to be a joint concern between the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, the London & North Western Railway and the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway – but the latter, being a bitter rival of the LNW at the time, were having nothing of that and pulled out of the deal. Ironically, though, the route crossed the LY’s Manchester to Stalybridge line at the appropriately named OA&GB Junction and one wonders how traffic was prioritised there.This block bell is in excellent working condition and retains its original label.
