Grahame's dining room table

Well when I saw the first picture, I thought that it was going to be a Southern "glasshouse" box, but judging from the second photo you're going for something of a more recent vintage. Is this based on a specific prototype?

I'd know that anywhere, it's London Bridge Signal Box. If you're planning on doing the whole station that will be one spectacular model.

I also thought of London Bridge the second i clapped eyes on it - as i go past it twice a day.

Woudl love to see the whole station modelled

Having had a look on Google Maps, the real thing looks to be about 200' long. I guess from the proportions of your model - particularly the length of the single-storey bit on the left - that you've reduced it a bit, but it must still be what, a foot long in N?

Yep, I've reduced the size of it - to 325mm long (just a smidge under 13") which still scales out in British 1:148 N gauge at about 160 feet long. Hopefully I've still managed to capture the character of it.
