Further to the previous post, I have gone further down the rabbit hole and acquired a second-hand Signal Box (or Cabin) for my toy railway. It was at a reasonable price from an online shop based in England, however once tracked mail, customs duty and administration charges were added, the price tripled!?! I have decided that any further building works for the railway will have to be home made...
Anyway, there follows some gratuitous pictures of the purchase. There are a couple of chips in the paint but nothing to trouble the passengers.
Out of interest I did a bit of digging on the internet and came across the Pre-WW2 versions of Hornby's Railway buildings which were made of wood but were still rather stylish. They have given me a bit of inspiration for future railway related projects!
I have given up buying internationally. The prices shot up a few years ago and just seem to be getting higher and higher. Bring back the good old days!
