micknich2003 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This will be the fourth and final signal to be made for my friends layout. This time slightly smaller, and with only one working doll, though has a reminder of better times, the sawn off stump of a former doll remains in situ. Again the lattice post and brackets are from the former "D&S" range. The only thing of note is my use of Telescoped K&S square tube to form the doll pockets. The finished dolls will eventually be "super Glued" in position, though with a little care from the file they can be made a good push fit. As can be seen, it is far easier to use a long length of tube as an aid to assembly and getting everything square. Once satisfied that all is well, the excess tube is easily removed.
