Wills signal box


 A long, long time ago in the year 2018 BT, a magazine editor warned me off using the Wills signal box kit. 'Tricky'. So I went down the Dapol route. Now is my chance to find out. TBH the first impressions are good and it looks to be typical Wills fare, and possibly designed by Our Lord Rice. So either the afore mentioned gent had it mixed up with the Ratio box which is an absolute bitch in places, or something else. This is destined for print as well, but may either end up on the expanding round the room epic of on the much mooted Hopwood Southern. A long history entails. 

Some pre-construction painting continues...

  1. I agree the Ratio one has its moments. I've often wondered if a modular system for building the signal boxes of Saxby and Farmer and McKenzie and Holland would be feasible.
