Electrokinetica - Welcome edit / delete

London-based electromechical technology museum: they collect and restore things like generator sets and lifts. I came here via the excellent section on Compton church organs (the British equivalent of Hammond, using interestingly different technology).

"St Albans Signal Box Preservation Trust: Established by volunteers to restore and preserve the St Albans South signal box as part of our railway and architectural heritage." Should I ever find myself in St. Albans, this looks worth a visit.

"Festipedia is dedicated to recording the history of the Festiniog Railway from the 19th Century to the present day. You will also find much detail on the Welsh Highland Railway." I hadn't realised quite how big the FR/WHR is now -- I need to find an excuse to visit at some point!
