Brass Detectives

Brass Detectives is a term coined by the Signalling Record Society (SRS). It refers to individuals who match lever description plates to signal boxes, usually many years after the boxes were demolished. Not all lever plates are brass.

Although all railway companies and regions are catered for, information about lever plates from the GWR and BR(W) seems to be more abundant than other companies.
