Updated through online information from Ken Heaton.
The Wikipedia article link provided has a number of photos of the organ, console, pipes in the interior of the Swell Boxes, and so on. The information provided is from my actually looking at the organ and from speaking to one of the organists. The Wikipedia entry will be improved as time an information permit.
