Rannoch Junction Signal Box

Description: Model is based on the large West Highland signal box at Crianlarich (other smaller stations had smaller, squarer buildings). Research shows up at least 4 different shades of green for the timber work during the 1980s alone!
Construction: 1mm Perspex box with scored windows, filled with paint, clad with various types of plasticard including Slaters and Wills 'slate' for the roof. Timberwork is scored 1mm sheet and evergreen strip. Lead flashing is strips of Tesco value copier paper. Paint is various mixes of Humbrol enamel.
To do: 1x chimmney pot, lever frame and a coat of paint for the inside. Once these are done the flashing around the chimmney needs to be finished. A station nameboard, then a bit more weathering...
