hartleymartin Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've just ordered one and I'm wondering if anyone else here as had a go at this kit. I would be interested to see your thoughts on it. I figured that it would be the perfect signal box for my (yet to be built) Witts End layout.

railwayrod Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello Hartleymartin.. Have not built this kit but I have seen a completed one made up by a member of Peco's staff. It looked very nice and he assured me that it was an easy kit to build. He also thought that with a bit of kit bashing it would form the basis of a narrow gauge box. Hope this is useful.

hartleymartin Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well, my kit arrived. I was much dismayed to find out that it had a 9 pound price sticker on it, and I'm fairly certain that I paid about $50 Australian Dollars for it... I dry fitted the walls and roof together, and I've decided that it is definitely going to need an interior detailing kit with some lighting. I don't usually bother with this on mode buildings, but when the interior is so visible, it will definitely be worth having some visible detail.

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted February 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2015 I bought and built the Peco Goods Depot kit (LK-82) recently and it went together really nicely, good sturdy parts. The brickwork took the mortar paint really well (unlike say some Dapol kits I've built), and now it's finished, with its Modernist styling - it really looks the part I think for a transition-era layout. Hope yours works out well too Martin, for your $50. cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Unless we're talking about different kits the Peco small wooden signal box is priced at 26GBP on Tower's website. That's not far off 50 $Aus is it? Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, having started the assembly I am quite happy to pay the money as it is a really good kit. I feel that Peco should include some interior detail or at least have an accompanying detail kit to go with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
