Metcalfe Po233 Lnwr Signal Box

I am new to railway modelling and tried various kits before finding Metcalfe kits, and so far I have constructed the complete factory and created a row of back to back shops and terraced houses plus a few more models. I have found so far all the Metcalfe kits and products to be made to the highest quality, and make superbly detailed, sturdy models worthy of gracing any model layout.The instructions are fantastic and easy to follow. Just take your time no rush. If its your 1st kit read the instructions throughly before starting.I tried various glues and now use UHU glue for the best results, you will need fine glue applicators and bottles though.Final note please dont buy the cheaper alternative they are cheap for a reason and you will regret.Hope that waffle helps.

These card kits are super and a lot of fun to make. You need a lot of patience but the end results are rewarding. Suggest after making dozens of various buildings and station platforms that using UHO glue isn't the best as this glue tends to string. Having said that with care I do use this type of glue but for the attachment of windows only. For the rest of the card structure I recommend a PVA glue using a small spatula, a little goes a long way so use sparingly.

bought this after being impressed with a free metcalfe shelter model and the metcalfe station platform kit, but this kit seems to have far too many edges where the cardboard ends can be seen, the roof is poor- i daren't weather it as it has no texture but it is too white and looks false, there is no detail inside and the 'free' hut and fuel thing look very like cardboard boxes - will need modification and heavy weathering to look good- perhaps weather and obstruct with a tree

Excellent kit not to difficult to assemble looks brill on the Model Railway, Three parts to it, Excellent

Hubby assembled it. Looks good on our new train track

Well presented model with easy to follow construction instructions. A good model which would look the part on any OO gauge railway.

It is a gift, so don't know about the assembly, but could need care

Looks well on trainset
