LNER signal boxes

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any photos or links to photos with LNER Signal boxes as the subject.
If at all possible I need dimentions, if only a few they would be very helpful and greatly appreciated, Colour if any exist.

I was also wondering if anyone had any links or photographs of road over line bridges or tunnel mouths with dimensions for a double line?

Thanks.

For the signal boxes, I found this site, featuring signal boxes from pre-grouping-/grouping/BR days. I you want to build a model from scratch from these pictures, imagine a human being as 2cm tall in 00 and 1cm tall in N. Use this to start working from the doors, then use logic and educated guesses. That's what my book says, at least.

Thanks Camborner, I had seen the website before I posted and looked at great northern and London and north eastern bits, you should see what my attempt looks like in a few weeks (years).

The LNER forums should be a good place for the info you want.

There's a nice pic of an LNER signal box here, also a useful colour chart. http://www.stationcolours.info/

Thanks Pol, the colour chart should come in useful when painting.

I joined the LNER encyclopedia forum, Thanks Pol, hopefully I should have some replies soonish.
