I'm still waiting for a decent (Hornby) representation of the MN fire-box, plus the positioning and overall proportions of it's smoke-box door. (Their WC/BoB is much better in this, latter, aspect.)

Och !!, Tha's heeem Man ! ....In photo two,...Thee Evil Dr. B...Impersonating Indiana J.....Boldly stealing the 'Treasures of the Tracks' directly, from under the very noses of Glasgow's Great and Good !!...! Hello there, Bye the way. Is tha' th' Daily Record ?. I, NOW, claim ma five pund. Thank you

It does depend on what type (1 to 4 plus war damaged replacements), size and, thus, style of box, you are intending to model. Firstly, two books on the subject, I can thoroughly recommend. Both by the same author, the late George A. Pryer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Signal-Boxes-London-Western-Railway/dp/0853615659/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1512400969&sr=1-1&keywords=by+G.+A.+Pryer & https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pictorial-Record-Southern-Signals-1977-03-25/dp/B01F9RC06U/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1512400969&sr=1-10&keywords=by+G.+A.+Pryer Secondly, we, the BWMRG were able to obtain just one (To start with) decent (I.e :- we were able to count the bricks) photograph of the S/Box in question. From this, we were able to estimate the size of the main glazed panels to be approx.4' - 9" high X 2' - 9" wide* (including the framing) with the individual glass panes being 12" high X 9 1/2" wide. (In later years, some of the sliding panels [and other] had their glazing replaced by three larger, horizontal panes. *Aaand anotherrr thing (Imitating Private Frazer) The main glazed panels did vary in height. Best refer, again, to photograph. This is the Group's SketchUp drawing based on the photograph. As you can see, it is a large-ish seventy-one lever S/box of L&SWR Type 3 design. All the best, Frank. P.S. We are still looking out for views from the rear.

I agree. Ordered three of these b*gg*rs back when first announced. Paid for 13/05/2017.

More, fresh, plastic (Filler / Stopper) applied to the previous ? plastic. 5-WES units Nos.442420 & 442404 being prepared. as of 24/11/ 2017 pm., within Branksome Depot's Carriage Cleaning Shed. Credit for photos, again, due to 'Son of Ceptic'. Cheers.

Nice one. A simple solution, which would've put paid to many a Terminator.

As long as the Whisky stays in the bottle.,....I'll be ok...

From what information I've gathered, the white / grey coating is a two-part epoxy-resin based primer, giving a gloss finish. I.e. More acceptable to a self-adhesive application. A little like applying transfers / decals to a model's glossed surface, rather than matt.

Inside Branksome (Bournemouth) Depot's paint shop, tonight,15/11/2017. 5-WES unit nos. 442419 / 442420 + one unidentified (Will they be re-classified / re-numbered ?*) undergoing preparations for the new vinyls. Photos courtesy of Son of Ceptic. *Edited, due to after-thoughts.

I'm not normally, prone to spreading rumours, but word has it that there's a squad of MiMs, based aboard HMS QE, are examining samples of SS TIHAMA's exotic / narcotic cargo at this very moment. Edited for missing words.

Venoms had the wing-tip tanks, not Vampires.

This report's photo is of the train's leading cab and was taken after the unit had been withdrawn from service and the trailing unit had run round and coupled up. The remainder of your post is pure conjecture.

Please tell me again, or elucidate. What part of the report do you find to be an 'Exaggeration' ? You also forgot to add in the cost of the broken window. That laminated glass doesn't come cheap, you know.

I agree. This type of cab's front windows did taper in, from bottom to top. Note also, the slight curvature to these windows' outer, vertical frames.

Even the 'Double Arrow' looks a tad wonky.

A 'One Off'. R.I.P. Fats.

Hi Chris. I take it the PMV ? pictured is of a preserved vehicle ?. If so, does it still carry the original BR livery ? Regards.

Another / More Oz Classics. I remember seeing 'Alvin Purple' as a double feature, paired with (Iirc) 'Blazing Saddles', a little while back.

Classic.
