Looking good Steve.
Personally I wouldn't bother with a chimney, the prototypes tended to have a stove for heating with a metal flue through the roof.
If you want a chimney don't forget there would be a chimney breast and fire underneath, so having a chimney in the middle of the roof would mean a fireplace in the middle of the box!

Please do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.

Just don't let the stove go out, Steve, coz they used to stink something rotten when they did.

I worked in over 40 signal boxes (for my sins), not one had a fireplace so NO CHIMNEY, Steve.

It would spoil all your very good work

To live a longer life it seems that you must give up all that you enjoy, Nah not me, take me as you find me. I will be the one still smiling. Trevor.

Traditionally the tracks go right past the front windows. Access is wherever there is room, rarely at the front.

As the weather was good today it seemed like a great opportunity to see how my Signal Box would look in place.
