    The signal box looks great Ian. :thumbs:

    Question for you : The interior detail, does it come with the kit or is it all scratch built ?

    Cheers, Gary.

    Hi Gary thanks for that ... its all scratch built .. the ecterior using bits left over from Lcut projects (steps are old Metcalfe) the interior is odd bits and pieces of balsa etc and the levers are comb teeth (not my original idea)

    The arches look great Ian. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    Do you use scissors or a cutting template/circular object for cutting out the arched bricks ??

    Cheers, Gary.

    Thanks Ian. I have a few circle templates here (from my old landscape design days), but I find them too soft to use a scapel around the edge, as they tend to cut into the plastic. If I can, I try to locate something, anything that has the same circumference as the item to be cut.

    Cheers, Gary.
