The LT Museum depot at Acton works has at least 3 with its Westinghouse Brake & Signal Co. Ltd. Style Power Lever Frame lever frames rebuilt and on display. These are from Elephant & Castle, Marble Arch along with part of Drayton Park which is being used by the Acton Miniature Railway which is located in the grounds of the museum |

| Notes from Steve Roberts | ||||
| Steve Roberts worked as a guard at the Elephant and Castle and was able to give some details of the frame at least from the working as he remember it from the 1970's. The cabin code was 'BS'
My thanks to Steve Robert,s for the following information.
The levers for the points were not in the frame at all, the normal or reverse indications were on the track diagram. In fact, there were no remote interlockings as far Steve is aware at Elephant & Castle. |
||||
| Marble Arch Marble Arch was a London Transport signal box which was opened in 27th April 1952. It was fitted with a an 11 lever Westinghouse Style 'N' miniature power lever frame, this installation replaced the previous 1900 Edwads O'Donnel 17 lever pnuematic frame. The box closed on the 9th December 1999 whne control passed to Wood Lane signalling control centre. |
