LNWR Signal Cabin

Just finished (as of November 2018) this model of an LNWR Signal Cabin, to a scale of 1:24 or half inch to the foot. The overall base measures about 500mm x 250mm and is about 320mm high. As you can see it's a cut-away model showing the fully-detailed interior. It's my entry for the LNWR Society Modelling Competition and inspired by the isometric drawing of a similar cabin in Jack Nelson's iconic 'LNWR Portrayed' book.

It's constructed mainly from wood and mount-board, with details from styrene sheet, brass, perspex, real glass, brass and nickel-silver.

I gained a 'Highly Commended' which I'm quite pleased with - the certificate is now hanging proudly in the workshop! Well done to the Society for a great competition - will I be back next year I wonder...?!

Meanwhile, I am proud to report that the model was donated to the LNWR Society for educational and exhibition use. I am very pleased that it ahs gone to a good home and maybe I will get to see it again at a future exhibition!
