Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[mike]

On version 2.0 for the levers..more detail after they have been painted..

 

[mike]

Today progress ..not finished..still more work on the lever frame..
Painted floor though !!

 

[Rhinochugger]

I was about to say, shouldn't there be one or two blue ones, and there he's done one.

You need to get Paul RhB to remind us what all the different colours are for - it's a long time since I was stood as a lad in the signal box at Surbiton. I believe we were also taken to one of the Clapham boxes as well

from the left
Brown - gate lock
Brown - Ground frame release and derailing chock
Red - outer home signal
Black - detonator placer for outer home
Yellow - Distant for inner home signal
Red - Outer starter
Red - Platform starter
Missing - black - loop points
Blue - FPL (facing point lock)

etc. etc.

The lever frame is a great piece of 'technical' modelling but the floorboards are sheer artistry. Well done.

That's much to posh for a signalman's abode

Too right, it'd probably be reet to posh for his house let alone his place of work!
What do you think, a small open range at home and a small cast iron type stove in the box?

 

[stockers]

What the heck - looks brill doesn't it.

There's no doubting that but thee canna meka brew onnit!

 

[Rhinochugger]

Yebbut, that's the problem - cannot be beaten

Forget the fire surround, look at the plank floor and tiled hearth - the man's got too much time on his hands

 

[mike]

I should point out..
The kettle is on the hotplate which is sat on the desk to the right of the fire place..along with the cake..which I haven't made yet.. along with the books and signaling equipment

Today though was a different day..managed to get the missing lever in. Via a trainline pointmotor under it
