Hi Spitfire Pilot;

I love it! That’s a great build of a very old kit! I’ve been wanting to have a go at one of these for a while as I spent my formative years in an LMS signal box as my Dad was a signalman in the 1970’s. He worked at the box at Purfleet in Essex and then Upminster. I found a photo of it online taken before it was demolished, so I may have to build one now.

I like the sound of the Wills detail set…I may have to get one of these. What’s included? Hope it has a Tortoise stove in there as this is the one item I remember the most! Purfleet was great because we had a siding next door that always had a Class 08 parked up and I got to play in it all the time. Upminster was magic too as I got to drive a train at the age of 9 as we had a branch line there that the drivers had to collect a token from the box. I ended up getting invited into the cab of a Class 302 for a drive down the branch line and back…wonder what the passengers would have thought!

What I don’t understand, is why with a railway orientated up-bringing, I ended up as an aviation buff! Still love the railways though!

Once again, cracking build!

Regards;
Steve

I’d have killed to have driven at 9!!!

Can’t fathom how I haven’t posted on this recently.

The Wills kit contains all of the above (except for the light cabinet, which is just scratchbuilt with plasticard). It does include a stove though I chose not to include it due largely to it’s modern image theme. It includes more levers than I’ve installed and additional instrumentation. For about £15, it’s a fantastic investment I think.

Got to repair it so I can make additions then (it was damaged by my nan whilst decorating).

I like the cameo idea Critter592 😀
