barrowroad Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just noticed this thread and thought I would add a few photos of my model of Lawrence Hill Junction box which I built for my new layout of Bristol Barrow Road. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thats superb modelling and photographing it in the dark has worked really well. Looks like it will be while before a train runs past it though!! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrowroad Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi Ian, The trackwork is getting there with quite a lot now in place since the box was finished last year. For updates you can look at my blog. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/116-barrowroads-blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Hi Robin, great photos of a superb model, very neat modelling and I do like the night shots really looks convincing. thanks everyone for posting cheers Peter Edited March 6, 2012 by Gravy Train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Here's one I made for a mate's layout about 10 years ago. Great Northern Rly, D&S etches and embosed brick for the brickwork. The "Cris Cross" handrails were cut out with a piercing saw much the same as working with metal. After picture was taken, there was an amount of extra detailing and weathering added.

Gravy Train Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Mick Thats nice and particularly intrigued by the locking room door, I mentioned to Gilbert ( Peterborough n ) on Sunday that his North box was the first Great Northern box I had constructed and the etches for the awning on your box I think are identical and had from you some time ago they look very fancy indeed. Very nice Mick cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Here is the same model, after complition, with added detail and now on the layout. Peter, I think I did send you some spare Bargeboards a year or two ago. You have obviously, put them to good use. Mick. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Now that's what signalboxes should look like. Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here's one I built for a club layout a few years ago. It's a bit basic, with no interior and is one of the simplest of NER designs with very few embellishments on the outside. It's built from cars with Metcalfe brick, D&S windows and Wills slates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here are a few scans of a 4mm scale GC lower quadrant signal I made quite a few years ago. The spectacle plates are "Doubled Up" to sandwich the "Glasses". I would now "Beef Up" the ladder with 0.3mm wire. We all move on with time and experiance.

micknich2003 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just found the attached, two pictures of the LMS Bracket (Page 4) under construction. The bits hanging off the left end of the trimmer and across the main doll were later bent to shape to attach the Guy Wires. Mick. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie_pudd Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Cool thread to read through and amazed at the building / detailing you guys have, wish i had just 1% of that skill. On the signal box thread theme thought i`d share pics of the 2 signals boxes that were in Harrogate, The brick SB is still in use today but south box went late 70`s but talk about difference in contrasts lol. Both were at each end of the station and were the south box was, is now just full of conduit boxes. Keep up the building skills and posting pics as is a real inspiration for the rest of us.

micknich2003 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Here is something completly different, oddball signal box a lot of work with the foundations. Mick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Yorki-pud, thanks for sharing those photos with us, i have a model of the latter somewere in the4 duldrums in 4mm scale,i am sure you would be very capable of constructing a box like those, its just technique , careful cutting with the correct tolls etc and can be learned by the majority of folks. i have had complete novices on my Architectural modelling courses at Hobby Holidays and you would be surprised at the results that can be achived with a little guidence. There is a signal box build series that i have posted on the thread which should be of some help, showing a blow by blow acount of the construction. cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micknich2003 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Super pictures. Yet another Ouse Bridge box <g> I'd forgotten there is/was more then one "Ouse Bridge", this as I'm sure you have worked out was on the H&B. For anyone seriously interested in modelling it, I have about 40 photo's, plus also a technical paper with drawings from c1885. Best Wishes, Mick.

LNERGE Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've just had a quick stickybeak at Google Earth looking for the site of the bridge. Is there a buoy centre stream to mark an underwater obstruction/remains of the centre bridge support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've just had a quick stickybeak at Google Earth looking for the site of the bridge. Is there a buoy centre stream to mark an underwater obstruction/remains of the centre bridge support? I have not been near nor by since the mid '70's, but I reckon you are right. Best Wishes, Mick.

micknich2003 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The signalling diagram of Ouse Bridge may be of interest. On close study, it is a little unusual. It never altered 1885 to 1959. Mick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Interesting. Pulling of in one direction cleared the opposite also? Do the photo's you have or the technical paper give details of how the bridge is supported when open to rail? Did the centre pivot carry any load when open to rail?

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2012 I suspect the reason for the strange numbering might be to allow the bridge to close in either direction for rail traffic and the lever will always operate the signal nearest to it (well that seems a logical explanation if nothing else). It is definitely unusual and from the details I have it didn't happen on at least some of the NER swingbridges (which had 'normal' numbering (even if they had other oddities).

micknich2003 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ouse Bridge H&B could originaly swing through 360o ence the dual numbering of the signals. The "Back Board" was painted on both sides but oposite way round on the reverse, depending which way the bridge was closed the board "Flipped" over to give the correct discription. Mick.
