The NEW West Highland Line Platform Mounted Signal Box Laser-Cut Kit

The NEW West Highland laser-cut wood kits, all based on buildings on the existing West Highland Line extension between Fort William and Mallaig in Scotland. In fact Arisaig station was the inspiration for these attractive models, a delightful station on a very scenic and popular route, famous for many reasons but likely to be moist memorable for its role in the Harry Potter films. It is a route that has become a firm favourite with modellers so these kits will certainly be welcomed by many and be the inspiration for a number of new layout builds for sure.

The NEW Rannoch Station Wooden Laser-Cut Kit

The style of Rannoch Station building, built in 1894, is typical of the type of structure found on the North British-built line from Glasgow to Fort William. Sitting on an island platform this is a long building, so consequently the model created from this kit is certainly impressive! By contrast the platform-mounted signal box is quite diminutive when compared with the station, but both structures possess the stylish "Swiss Cottage" style of construction and consequently are very attractive.

Despite its size we have designed the station kit to be as easy to construct as possible, with carefully designed parts that fit snuggly together and the assembly instructions are clear and informative. It would not surprise us if the signal box kit is adapted for other uses, such as a shelter, tea room, waiting room or greenhouse: it has many possibilities! The kits feature some incredible detail and texture, something that we have been working really hard to achieve - so much better than the basic appearance of so many other laser cut kits available on the market.

Code 55

Use SL-310 metal joiners and SL-1208 joining sleepers. Use SL-311 insulating joiners to create isolated track sections (if using DCC control these are not required).

One of the great advantages of TT:120 is that the 12mm gauge track correctly scales out as standard (4' 8.5") gauge, as used all over Britain's railway network. The ingenious rail section of PECO code 55 combines strength and durability with a highly realistic appearance – In TT:120 the visible height of the rail correctly represents 113lb flat bottom rail. The flexible sleeper base is detailed with fine wood grain and spikes through British Railways’ BR1 baseplates under the rails, a combination that continues to be widely used on Britain’s railways.
