Ex-British Rail Southern Region steam locomotive number 850 "Lord Nelson" passes the signal box at Alton as it runs round its train ready for the return journey to Alresford on the Mid-Hants Railway. This signal box is the only one on the MHR that is not located on a platform and it therefore has a higher ‘locking room’ structure http://www.watercressline.co.uk/article.php/640/alton-signal-box .
