BrushType4 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I had the pleasure of dropping off the recent signal box commission this morning. It will be disappearing to Bristol in the new year to be built and painted but before then it was put in position in its new home. This box weighs in at an mighty 720mm long (28 inches) but it fits into the layout without looking imposing at all. It helps that the layouts owner had excellent vision and space to build beautiful sweeping track work. A signal man is just checking the view before the final fit out guys turn up. A small realignment of the p/way is required. The Southern footbridge I'm working on will need to span at least six roads on this layout and I'm looking forward to seeing that in place too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangdance Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Great work. What thickness mdf do you use when making 4mm buildings. I was thinking of using 1.5mm but I am finding hard to find a supplier. Ant ideas. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted December 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2017 can you recommend a supplier Alan I hope you don't mind my pushing in with a couple of photos. If you live near London then you could try the 4D model shop https://modelshop.co.uk/ , they also deliver. It's not the easiest to use, but it does work. There is a matt and a shiny side. I've learned to lay it shiny side up. Also the darker sheets seem to be better than the lighter sheets. I use the 1mm for covered vans, 1.5mm for open wagons and buildings. Experiment using 1mm sheet All done in 1mm sheet The base of this Barnum prototype is 1.5mm, the upper 1mm I'm afraid I don't have a building photo to show you. Hope that helps. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnum is looking good, nice to see you have the set at the waist rail many people think they are slab sided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
