Brecon & Merthyr Railway Brass and Wood Single Line Staff engraved in large letters PANT JUNC AND IVOR JUNC. The section ran from just north of Dowlais Central where, at Ivor Junction, the L&NWR line from Abergavenny joined the line to Brecon. A quite magnificent train staff, the likes of which we have never seen before. Measures 20 in length with thick brass strips screwed to the wood through the entire length and three indented plates bearing the engravings, these alone being 7 long and 1 wide. A substantial piece of very early signalling.
