Worle Junction signal box information and pictures

[TravisM]

Looking for information and pictures of Worle Junction signal box before it was removed when the Weston loop was singled in the early 70's.  I remember as kid getting a tour of the box and thinking of making a model of it.

No pictures in "Something big at Bristol", but the schedule says it was a GWR type 3 box, 20 levers with stud locking.

A type 3 box at Sarnau. Gives an idea.

Are there any kits available of this style of box?  I seem to remember it was painted in a brown colour but I could be mistaken (I was only 9 or 10 lol)

If you squint (a lot), http://www.yesterdaystoys.co.uk/Hornby-R-8005-OO-Gauge-Signal-Box_AX1NG.aspx could look a bit like it. It's too long, and the locking room windows are wrong, but could be bashed into something passable.

About 3/4 way down - not marvellous but still a shot.
