For the last couple of weeks I have been working on my latest project a model of a typical West Highland extension railway (NBR) signal box in Gauge 1.

Today has seen the first outing in public of the virtually completed structure, at the Bromsgrove Society of Model Engineers open day.

The day had quite a Scottish theme with a Highland Railway Clan, 3 Caledonian Railway locos and a North British Railway B class in steam across the day.

I still have a few jobs to do on the building with the guttering and rainwater goods to be added as well as various fixtures and fittings.

The Signal box itself is built mainly in laser cut MDF and Ply from my own CAD drawings, I was lucky that the members of RMweb were able to assist in providing some information and drawings with some basic dimensions, the rest has been scaled from various images, over all I am quite pleased that when considered against various photos its looking close to the real thing.
