Thanks Andrew, I look forward to reading it. This will be my third J27, the first is in EM in NER livery and the second in OO in BR Livery. Both are from Dave Alexander kits.
Andy is very helpful and thoughtful.He sent me extras of the more delicate parts because the package had such a long journey to Oz thus increasing the risk of damage!
John I suspect you have sorted your signal box requirements but this may be of interest:

I have built his NER box and am very happy with it.
Ignorance is bliss Andrew! I bought one off ebay some years ago and not knowing much about GCR rolling stock built it as it came. I must remember to exclude any GCR afficionados from my next meeting.
To all you lucky people who are enjoying your A2/2 Hattons has just denied me that pleasure.Two days ago an email advised my pre-order had been processed.I wake this morning to an email advising a refund has been processed as the item had been oversold. What has happened to the usually reliable Hattons or does the problem lie with Hornby?
Just received an email from Hattons advising my order for Cof N has been processed. I pre-ordered mine quite late so I presume they have received the bulk,if not all, of their allocation.
I hope you enjoy re-furbishing hand made points as much as i do. It gives me a good feeling of waste not want not and it is much quicker than starting afresh.
