This afternoon, at long last, I made a start on the model of Lawrence Hill Junction Signal Box. The basis of the model is another stunning kit of parts commissioned from York Modelmaking which arrived last week.

The kit consists of a shell formed from interlocked peices of 2mm mdf onto which will be fixed the walls of the box made from laminations of Rowmark plastic. Each of the four walls consists of four layers of the plastic onto which is fixed a further layer on rustic cladding. So far this today I have assembled the mdf shell and most of the front elevation of the box. It will be noted that some of the windows are modelled in the open position as requested.

The following sequence of photos shows the kit of parts and the build so far. I am particularly pleased with the fineness of the window frames and the glazing the latter will be fixed following painting.
