Stour Valley Dream - Not quite as Wills designed it

I've made some more progress on converting the Wills signalbox to match the one at Clare. This little section of a photograph of the box shows the rather nice cast iron brackets which supported the gangway. I didn't think the flat piece of plastic supplied in kit quite cut it so had a go at drawing up a model and 3D printing it. I also made up some nameboards to be attached after the box is painted.
I made a couple extra just in case some didn't come out or broken as I tried to finish them. Hot off the printer the parts looked like this.
and comparing the kit part and the 3D printed replacement the result looks pretty good.
So I got the stairs and gangway on the box with the stairs shortened to match the lower site in the platform. To match the prototype I also had to shorten the locking room windows. The box can now be placed in the platform along with the rather decorative platform wall.
Still lots to do but I'm pleased with the progress.
