I thought it was high time to tart up some of the existing pieces from this project and try and get them to the same standard as some of the newer ones.

First off is the signal station on the viaduct. It's been sat in the garage for several years now exposed to all the crap dust etc that's been in there. It needs a bit of a clean  lol



Also, the signal box got damaged (forgot to take a photo of that). Two walls had come off along with the windows and railings for the exterior platform. I've reinforced the walls, but back the windows and added some interior details that were always going to be there but just never happened.




I also need to finish off the rails for the curve and add something to the large, blank wall to make it a bit more interesting.






The top part of the box will remain removable as I'm going to use it (with a new bottom piece) for my Dorking project.

Chooo!
 
That's a lot of levers for just one track point.... what else are they controlling from that signal station, eh?

Careful lads, there could be some mad science afoot.

beautiful model making,and I really like the "abandoned" track. I t looks like a lot of rationalisation has taken place.

Chooo!

Especially as that single point has been lifted, so there's no need for any levers at all... I also find it highly suspicious that the signal box has a brick pillar extending to ground level...

Thanks chaps  :)

Nothing so nefarious going on here…

Or is there  >:D

Honestly, it looked better with several points rather than just one  lol

This section of rail isn’t abandoned as I’ve got some wooden trestles for it to join onto at some point  :)
