    Its the same kit Ron but I had to reduce it by a 2/3rds and change the supporting girders. I reckon it'll look better than the signal box and it will give some sort of reason for a loco to be standing there .. still needs a water crane and weathering.

    Nice Ian.....:thumbs:

    I`ve got one of those to build as well. I`m going to replace the Superquick card one near my engine shed.

    It scrubs up pretty good when I look at your efforts.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    Replacing the signal box with the water tank works for me Ron. Lovely work.

    Cheers

    Much impressed with the water tank, looking at the relation in size of it to the rest of the model, I reckon it would also work in O scale as a light rail/branch/industrial/single road engine shed type tank, I will have to draw up some plans for one, may never get to use it but it will make a nice project.

    Pete.
