Dave,

Well done, looks very good, one of these days I'll have a go at mine.

The check rails on FB points are not a \___/ shape but a continuous long curve on the one face only.

If we are being fussy then not a continuous curve at all but long gentle tapers with a fairly short straight section just opposite the crossing gap. Taper lengths and angles vary depending on running speed. I can supply appropriate details on request.

Looks much better now it has the concrete foundation and RSJs.

[Callow Lane signalbox - part 2 - a re-think and a re-build...]

I guess a GWR lever frame at Callow Lane when it was taken over by the Western wouldn't be too far fetched!

See my first comment above, you would have to rebuild the box structure as the frame supports are completely different.

The Smith's etched frame looks nice Tim - didn't know they did such a thing, rather more refined than the Wills' version in their box interior.

But nothing like a Midland frame! The Midland frame has all the locking and the lever pivots above the floor and consequently the box design does not have the structural components to support a frame in the sunken position shown. Better to fix it now before you have gone to far.
