It is hard to imagine a model railway layout without a signal box somewhere along the line. They were, after all, the most numerous of the steam-era buildings, and some were almost as old as the railways themselves, dating back to the mid-1800s. With the increased availability of signal box kits and ready-to-site versions, this book provides an invaluable and timely guide to just which box is right for your layout.
- More than twenty model signal boxes are featured in actual layout locations
- Presents forty kits and projects from Alphagraphix and Bilteezi to the latest in downloads and laser-cut kits, specially constructed with detailed and illustrated step-by-step descriptions
- Offers tips, hints and useful advice on tools, adhesives and materials, always remaining cost-conscious for those with limited time and resources
- Provides prototype images from the steam era to the present day
- Demonstrates how to model realistically detailed interiors and clever ways to show them off
- Shows how to scratch-build your own signal boxes using different methods and materials
- Includes useful guidance on signals, signalling, and infrastructure, level crossings and lever frames
