Shrinking the "Peco" Signal Box?

[Ray Von]

I really like the design of this particular model:

 

 

However, like a lot of products - it's not available in N Gauge!

 

I am fairly confident that I could construct my own "half-sized" version using plasticard sheet etc.

 

So, I wondered if anyone either has one and could provide the (approximate) dimensions, or if the details were available in schematic diagram anywhere?? 

 

I've searched online for a PDF of the assembly instructions to no avail, and anyway these wouldn't give measurements as such (but would at least give me an idea of the relative dimensions.)

 

It's a long shot I know, but if anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

It's loosely based on Potters Bar, the top floor's not a bad representation though the brick base/relay room was considerably larger. 

 

You could try scaling it from photos of the prototype

PS the brick bit is still there but the top floor was removed years ago.

Was part of the Merit range, they were based in Potters Bar.

Thanks that's a great picture!

I was thinking that maybe with some clever extrapolation - using the door as a starting point (and assuming that it's about 6'ish) I could then work out the measurements....
