Title: western region signal box
Post by: bluedepot on December 22, 2018, 11:22:55 AM
hi

other than highley are there any other western region suitable signal boxes available ready to place?

I have seen the ratio kit for one as well which is another option...

cheers

Depending on your era, there is the Br style one -

otheerwise I think you need to be loking towards kits -
Ratio/Peco/Kestrel all do GW or similar boxes in plastic kits

There is also ther Porthmadoc one from Prototype Models, a card kit -

Scenecraft also made a copy of Blue Anchor signal box on the West Somerset railway no 42-099 there are some examples available on ebay

Hope this helps

many thanks for links and suggestions

was the br type 15 box used in the western region?

if not I may get the gwr austerity signal box kit on osborns site - will check that some survived into 80s and 90s first though.

cheers

from a quick search on the internet, it would appear that the type 15 was a London midland region box.
