I have a Southeast Finecast model of the E1, completed in early BR livery as IoW W4 'Wroxall'. Wonderful engine, and one of my favourites. Never thought there would be a RTR version of it though! I will certainly be pre-ordering the IEG version of the Rapido model.

That was 46 'Newington', now W8 Freshwater on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. http://www.iwsteamrailway.co.uk/Freshwater.aspx

Can the missing condenser pipes be added to the model of 'Southern' 2644. This picture taken at Havant in August 1937 shows the locomotive as having them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/swift-valley/4168843093/

Dapol have forgotten to add the condenser pipes on the model of 'Southern' 2644 going by this picture of the same locomotive at Havant in 1937. https://www.flickr.com/photos/swift-valley/4168843093/

What I would really like are terriers with the extended Isle of Wight bunker.

Woolston Signal Box, shown in the picture, is Grade II listed and a nice example of the once common LSWR Type-4 signal box design. It is situated on the platform of Woolston station. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1413387 The frame is preserved as part of the reconstruction of Midford Signal Box by the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust, at Washford Station on the West Somerset Railway. http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/railway/stations/washford http://forum.signalbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=3120

I found some great pictures of Swanwick Signal Box (the prototype for kit SR55c) 2min and 30s into this video :

Can you tell me where the prototype of my LCUT "SR 55c LSWR/SR OO gauge platform mounted small signal box" is? Is it the former signal box at Swanwick (LSWR) on the Southampton to Fareham line? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swanwick-Railway-Station-Photo-Fareham-Bursledon-Netley-Line-3/253267588069?hash=item3af7ecb3e5:g:ChIAAOSwvR5aEdiE

The former signal box at Swanwick (LSWR) on the Southampton to Fareham line looks identical to the LCUT kit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swanwick-Railway-Station-Photo-Fareham-Bursledon-Netley-Line-3/253267588069?hash=item3af7ecb3e5:g:ChIAAOSwvR5aEdiE

LCUT make a platform mounted LSWR signal box in 4mm scale. http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=SR%2055c&title=SR%2055c Here is a ground mounted version to a similar design in Southampton : https://signalbox.org/gallery/s/chapelcrossing.php

That is interesting. Are there any details online? I have not found anything, so maybe I have to wait until my copy of the magazine arrives! Could you list the other 10 locos?

Thank you for making so many of the structures on my layout! Any chance of a 4mm model of a large LSWR type-4 signal box with the brick central panel such as at St Denys, similar to the boxes that survive at Woolston or Haslemere? https://signalbox.org/gallery/s/stdenys.php http://tillyweb.biz/gallery/hh/haslemere3.jpg http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/598919

A Google search also finds an 1865 proposal by the LSWR to build a "Havant, Hambledon and Droxford Railway" which would include extending the Bishops Waltham branch to Petersfield. Pity I cannot find maps online to go with these Parliamentary reports. https://books.google.com/books?id=aLQDAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA110&dq=havant+hambledon+droxford+railway&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjwgoT5_ZHZAhUHrVkKHdZWCWIQ6AEIUjAI#v=onepage&q=havant%20hambledon%20droxford%20railway&f=false

There are a few details of the GWR's 1895 proposed "Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Godalming Railway" here : https://books.google.com/books?id=uusoL4jT2C0C&pg=PA671&dq=portsmouth+basingstoke+godalming+railway&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwju1KSWs5HZAhUiwFkKHcB7DGcQ6AEIODAD#v=onepage&q&f=false
