RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted November 18, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Busy few days, first off I've finished the Cromwell.. More on this build can be found in Part 2 of it's Blog Entry I've also started work on another Timber Tracks Building - this time it's the GWR Signal Box C: It builds up pretty quickly. However most of yesterday afternoon and today has been spent building the photo-etch interior by Severn Models. Hopefully should have another update for you tomorrow.

RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted November 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Better late than never, here's an update to what's been going on (and off the workbench).. The Signal Box, well there's been much progress there: The interior took a while to do (especially 36 levers) and having to install the lighting as well. With the interior fitted, lighting installed and tested. It was time to fit the roof & chimney, I had to partially tile the rear side of the roof in order to fit the chimney cleanly and connect it up to the stove Roof tiled and the mortar coat added to the brick work. Next up I got distracted by this 'little' build'.. I will be doing a two part blog on the Churchill Mk. VII (with Crocodile), once she's finished. Oh and at long-last the Timber Tracks Engine Shed returned to the Workbench & Kitchen Table for modification & extension And I've done all this with a frozen shoulder and (now) two badly bruised knee's TTFN Edited November 26, 2019 by toboldlygo 2 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted December 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nearly a week's gone by, without an update.. Let's remedy that, up first the Timber Tracks Signal Box, it's almost there just needs some subtle weathering. The Engine Shed is more or less ready for paint (it's in Halford's Grey Primer) I've not glued on the roof trusses (the original Shed 1 there were glued, but there not now), as there's a lot to go inside. Now in grey.. And there's the small matter of a certain tank.. Yes there are going to be few blog entries going up this week 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

railroadbill Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hope you're feeling 100% now. Re the Timber Tracks "Thornbury" signal box, one detail that really stands out to me is the signalman figure with his cloth seen over the lever! Earlier on in the build you showed lighting being fitted, there is wiring leading to a "bar" that fits in the roof. Can't see what that actually is, is it a lighting bar of some sort with a bulb at one end, or is it just one bulb - or more than one perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't quite my question Rob. I'm interested in the font, which seems to be closer to the GWR style than I've seen before. Up to now I've used Slater's 1.5mm letters but they're really not the right shape. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
