Spanish metre gauge in G scale (on the cheap)
I'm having a fun few days, finally wiring up the signals and lighting and so the signal box needed to get some sun at last. Spanish boxes are not too common, especially on smaller lines, but when they were built, they were often quite splendid and this is my little homage to that practice. Some of the basic structure comes from a kit, the rest is inventive use of bits and pieces, including hair grips for levers, an LED from a cigarette lighter for the desk lamp, and many, many awkward little pieces of Forex. Hopefully I can match captions to pictures!

The box is located by the main station neck, adjacent to the station pilot's siding:
