What is the source of the (00 or 0?) green & cream box in post #800 please?

 

[Phil O]

Tim, that white paint looks very clean, every railway shed or workshop and plenty of non railway workshops that I have are pretty mucky, even ones that have had recent paint job get grubby within around a fortnight.

I think that is Ratio with a stone base???

Signal Box

Although modelled on the signal box at Highley, Severn Valley Railway, this box was designed by the private signalling firm Mackenzie and Holland, making it suitable for many areas of the country. The Ratio Signal Box Interior kit 553 will provide a wealth of interior detail. Supplied with...

Mostly scratchbuilt, with MSE witemetal frames and Evergreen strip for the insides.

As Chris says, Larry, it's a Ratio (4mm) top with scratchbuilt stone base (Wills sheets) and replacement etched windows from Churchward.

Of course, but it was painted last week!

I had begun to assume it was not a kit - thank you for the clarification!

Should be grubby by next week, then.

I'll do better than that, old chap, seeings as how you're such a splendid fellow, I'll move it to a completely different part of the layout...

I particularly like the van behind the loco. Nice bushes.
