I thought it might be of interest to look at a few signals recently made and under construction
4mm Scale GWR lower quadrant tubular bracket signal. Features working lamps -
Constructional details:
- Modelu finials
- MSE arms, weight bars and brackets from detail etch version (2)
- MSE bracket from original etch
- Handrails from 0.33mm Nickel Silver wire, operating rods from same wire but chemically blackened
- Support post cap is from brass rod turned on lathe.
- Spectacle Lenses from canopy glue coloured with Tamiya Acrylic X27 and X23 (I also use the coloured acetate sheets from Wizard Models where appropriate)
Apart from the working lights this signal is similar to those built for a new layout based on Bewdley in the mid 1960’s, which has appeared on the exhibition circuit pre-
Of course being WR of that era their posts are painted aluminium rather than white. (Strangely enough, photographic evidence suggests that the gallows starter signal there always had a white post and was never repainted in aluminium.
