georgeT Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Sorry G no information on the box at all but l think its of GWR origin, if you go to their site www.lcut.co.uk you will see it in their cat no B70-13R where they have all the gear they produce..

Thank you George, I suspected that it might have been an L-Cut model, they are very good value. One thing to look out for when painting or assembling are the corners which can delaminate so care should be taken. Maybe worth treating them prior to final paint or as I did on one that I assembled once give it a fine mist of rattle can primer which helped to seal it.

georgeT Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 The signalbox is all built now and what a lovely build it was, l notices on their website that they do a load of different windows for shed warehouses etc etc, so l am rebuilding Owen & Peters engineering factory with some much better windows, and Bodgit has purchased the old workshop for his 'Seven Mills' so nothing has been wasted... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Looking good George, I've purchased a few of the window frames to try on a scratch build and found them to be very good quality, also the service is excellent and usually next day when ordered before midday, usual disclaimer.

georgeT Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 After finding some great windows from www.lcut.co.uk l have had a re-think on my engineering work shop/factory of 'Owen & peters', so a rebuild was decided as there was too much work involved to re-do the windows so a fresh start was made, with the new build l have made the new structure much more robust and construction is slightly different as the windows will require a different approach, the new building has got supports for the over bridge, all will not be wasted as Bodgit will have the old building for Seven Mills ? Also l have started to put some supports under both road over bridges using some old pencils l have had for years, and finally l am going to add another point just after the second bridge away from the station will be a small re-fuelling spur, (Thanks for all the kind words Guys on our PM site) also the many likes from the rest on RM... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Morning George. The layout is coming together now and do I detect some atmosphere developing too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Morning George. The layout is coming together now and do I detect some atmosphere developing too. Morning Martin, Really the layout is a big working diorama, basically its a station coming from the cassette end running through Grundy street, but Beeching has closed the though line there after, but it has kept the re-fuelling point and the signal box and also kept the run round spur back to the station (cassette) and using the remaining tracks to park up odd stock..(l am sure things will change) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Been adding a new point to 'GS' today to make a spur away from the station for a small inspection pit and fuel tank also bought another sound A1X Terrier 32655 to go with 32636 don't ask me why but l just love them they sound so nice just chuffing around, l would see them a lot in the early 60s on Hayling lsland when l was a lad living in Portsmouth, also remember them coming from Hayling lsland to Fratton shed staying overnight.. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 That's a pretty little thing mate, the only one I ever saw was at out the front of the Hayling Billy Pub when we played a Gig there one night, it was later removed, and I don't know what happened to it after that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 ln the past l have tended to make my O gauge buildings from scratch but always felt they were a little under scale so this time round l have made them much bigger, having had a good research and measure up of various layouts at various shows l visited and now to me they look much bigger and better, just have to put the floors in and the glazing then paint it black inside.. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
