This replica signal box is a typical example of the mechanically operated signal boxes found all over the UK railway system,
The Signal box contains a lot of details including most of the instruments used to control railroad traffic at a junction.
In a mechanical signal box, such as this, a signalman pulled levers to operate points and signals. These controlled train movements within the station and also over the sections of track running between stations. Communication between signal boxes was by a system of bell codes, telegraph and telephone to confirm a train had passed and a specific block was clear.
On some single-track railways, token systems were used. The train driver carried a unique metal token as his authority to occupy the line.
The instruments contained in this signal box are all display models.
It now comes complete with working levers and indicators for the SLRR-NG system which need to be installed.

EVERYTHING GREAT
Not a Cheap signal box by any means, but probably the best on the market because of the interior detail. It's worth pointing out here that unlike the other reviewer, I have not had any problems with the doors when rotating the structure.
Looks good. But the doors no longer work properly when the house is turned 90°.
