Finished (bar nameplates) the first building on this layout, the signal box. Was a Saxby & Farmer design, so heavily modified a Shapeways 3D printed shell of an LBSCR box from Rue d'Etropal instead of starting from nothing.
Hibel Road was a joint LNWR/NSR station, but I was surprised to find pics of the box still in LNWR livery well into the 1960s. So that's how I painted it!
