Many years ago, Roy acquired the two Tyers No 6 instruments from Garsdale and Hawes, together with a
fibre tablet for that section, which were passed to the Trust in 2000. These are not Midland Railway
items, because the Tyers No 6 system was not installed between Hawes and Garsdale until the North
Eastern Region of British Railways took over responsibility for the line in the 1950s. These have now
been restored to working order and will shortly be displayed in the Visitor Centre at Ribblehead in
association with the Settle & Carlisle Railway Trust.
Examples of various types of Midland Railway cast iron mileposts will also be put on display in the Visitor Centre.
