andrewwaite1 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Thank you for making so many of the structures on my layout! Any chance of a 4mm model of a large LSWR type-4 signal box with the brick central panel such as at St Denys, similar to the boxes that survive at Woolston or Haslemere? https://signalbox.org/gallery/s/stdenys.php http://tillyweb.biz/gallery/hh/haslemere3.jpg http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/598919 Edited February 9, 2018 by andrewwaite1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to be expanding the signal box series later this year. I am currently planning a more northern signal box (possibly LSWR) and something for the east of England. We have platforms in O gauge and few other bits to finish before we can start on the signal boxes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewwaite1 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Can you tell me where the prototype of my LCUT "SR 55c LSWR/SR OO gauge platform mounted small signal box" is? Is it the former signal box at Swanwick (LSWR) on the Southampton to Fareham line? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swanwick-Railway-Station-Photo-Fareham-Bursledon-Netley-Line-3/253267588069?hash=item3af7ecb3e5:g:ChIAAOSwvR5aEdiE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 Big heads up for this supplier. Why have I not found them before the Donny Exhibition? Doh!

RMweb Premium SHerr Posted March 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2018 I’m part way through building the LCut large Signal Box that I purchased at the Doncaster show. So far so good, goes together nicely, good detail and very sturdy. There’s not much in the way of instructions but to be honest you don’t really need them if you built anything before. A couple of piccies if the work so far. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the newer kits have much more detailed instructions. Example being O gauge signal boxes such as B 70-07L http://lcut.co.uk/doc/instructions/B%2070-07L.pdf I still need to go through all of the older instructions and update them.

Paul Woolston Signal Box, shown in the picture, is Grade II listed and a nice example of the once common LSWR Type-4 signal box design. It is situated on the platform of Woolston station. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1413387 The frame is preserved as part of the reconstruction of Midford Signal Box by the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust, at Washford Station on the West Somerset Railway. http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/railway/stations/washford http://forum.signalbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=3120 Edited March 3, 2018 by andrewwaite1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCUT_creative Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Introducing O gauge platformsFollowing on the feedback received we have introduced platform system in O gauge. Platforms are available as island platform units as well as platform edging. Platform edging has been made from appropriate material to allow curving it. http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=B%2070-24E&title=B%2070-24E http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=B%2070-24M&title=B%2070-24M 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColHut Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just wondering if there is any likelihood of interior wall and fittings to go with your 00 gauge rang of buildings. This might be a tall order given the existing internal structural items, but it would br nice to section up the smaller buildings with doors , walls, booking halls and fireplaces and general station fittings. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are planning to do a range of interior for stations at some point in the future but it won't happen for a while unfortunately.

LCUT_creative Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 there are some truly wonderful models here would it be possible to produce a Large Mill building/industrial building taller than those that are already availible? Hi, We already have parts for the walls of the mill. The warehouse/factory wall panels come in 3 flavors depending on your requirements. http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-61&title=LCC%2004-61 http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-62&title=LCC%2004-62 http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-63&title=LCC%2004-63 http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-64&title=LCC%2004-64 http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-97&title=LCC%2004-97 http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=LCC%2004-98&title=LCC%2004-98 We also have a chimney kit: http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?product=B%2000-24&title=B%2000-24 There is no dedicated mill/factory kit at the moment but we are going to be expanding the range quite significantly this and next year. I will see what I could do about producing an out of the box mill bundle. As with other bundles it would be modular and expandable. You could have as many floors as you would require. We also do have floor parts so you could then add interior details to it. Best regards Jakub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium SHerr Posted April 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2018 nicely built. Out of interest whose paint/colour did you use ? Was it sprayed or brush applied. Thx in advance. Sorry only just seen your question. First the whole brick area was painted with slightly thinned Railmatch ‘concrete’ by brush. Then when dry I applied a few coatings of humbrol ‘red brick’ using a mederately dry brush - load up and then remove most on a sheet of kitchen roll, then apply keeping the brush on a slight angle. The mortar joints are not massively deep (although scale depth) so you do tend to fill some of it with brick colour. Work in a downward motion where possible and differences in shades from more or less paint give a bit of a weathered effect. The technique works better on Wills sheets which are slightly over scale but still a reasonable effort on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 16, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Another heads up for L Cut. On Fridaylast I spent several hours exploring the possibility of using LCut parts for their Island Platform building (and some others) to recreate a version of the Down and Branch Platform Building at Seaton Junction circa 1960 and place an order by the website (so easy to use for me, a digital duffer). I was able to use the excellent parts diagram of the station kit available on the web site and then choose various parts from that as the buildings are quite different in many ways. I was not able to recreate certain features but careful planning had enabled me to order a long list of parts and I believe that will create enough of what I want to see. My reason for posting is that this was an 'unusual' order for many parts, not a 'kit'. The package arrived yesterday morning. Top rate customer service.

LCUT_creative Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 We have now launched a new section on website with painting guides. So far I have prepared guides for two different buildings.

New guide should be published within a week or two. http://lcut.co.uk/index.php?page=pages/paintingGuides&title=painting%20guides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
