Signal Box, Bufferstops
From the small collection of signal boxes, I've decided to use the Peco one.
All it needs is some paint, and it'll look the part:
It looks much better at a reasonably viewing-distance, and when I print the name off I'll tidy up the name-plate.
Yeah, I'm quite happy with this. I used Rye Signal Box as a reference for the colours.
I'll put a nice garden round the back, those Busche flowers coming into play again.
What I've never been happy about are the Japanese buffer-stops you get with the Kato turntable. They look really incongruous on a british railway. So I jumped when some poor fool sold me a pack of ten peco sleeper-built stops. I know that rail-built stops would be more southern, but no one was selling ten of them cheap,
I spent a pleasant evening painting the buffer stops up, and deciding upon the red-line-surrounded-by-white for the buffer after a bit of spare googling.
I then cut some small pieces of track I had into 5mm bits and glued them into the holes in the rear of the bufferstops, so they look like they're actually built on the rails rather than hanging off the end.
I do need to check clearance for the A4 and the Coronation I've got to make sure they can get past the buffer stops near the turntables; no biggie if I need to pull them up and move them back a bit.
