Bakewell signal box


RobBrooks1

755 views

I have been making some small cosmetic changes to the Bakewell project recently including the construction of the Midland style signal box . I have used the excellent laser cut kit made by L Cut creative. The kit has excellent details for both the exteriors and interiors to make a generic model at a brilliant price of £8.99 for the exterior- I purchased mine at the Warley Show in November and have nearly completed the model. It was painted in LMS buildings cream and Midland maroon then suitably weathered in weathering powder to create a steam age feel. Glazing was acrylic sheet from York Model making.
The interior kit is also supplied by L Cut creative and is remarkably detailed. Once competed I will be adding interior lighting and a signalman.

 

The signal box is a generic copy of the one at Bakewell although on this version it is NOT as tall. The Bakewell cabin was some 6 planks taller and requires extensive modifications which need a degree of kit bashing. Still, I think that the L Cut creative is a superior kit to the Ratio one which I have built before

 

Here are some progress pictures.

Nice work Rob.

 

Do the window frames come with the kit also.

 

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

 

Glad you like my signal box

 

Yes the window frames are all laser cut and come with the kit. The clear glazing was spare and left over from my station canopy so it made a useful edition..
