Hi
A while ago I asked for help with signal boxes and I quickly got to work with the ruler and pencil and created a 1/76th scale drawing in mm using Camborners method of door height and estimates so its probably around 1/80th but I dont mind really so here a few old pics of it, Noakesy may remember them as I showed him them over a month ago, sadly I can't find the drawing but I am still looking but for now here are the front and right hand sides of the building:

You may also realise that the side view has no chimney or stairs but they will be added. (sorry about pic quality.)

Hi, as of now I can say the design for the 'box is finished I just need to build it but before I do I was wondering what colours a 'box from the LNER region in around the 1920s-30s would be for doors, woodwork drains etc, thank you

You're not the only ones. Took me ages to remember where I put that.
