- The scratch build series is back with another signal box. Hopefully the more modern design of this one will appeal to some abs for others maybe you’ll enjoy the process anyway. 😉

Another cracking scratch build on the go Paul.
The angular nature of this build is also a lot different than your previous signal boxes, cannot wait to see what this looks like when you finish it.
Alex
Thanks Alex, I do like this more functional style of box, certainly something different from what I’ve built before. Paul
Hi Paul - very interesting to see the design and build process. As this is a Gillingham Dorset not the Kent one I won’t be popping down to check the accuracy 😃😃
Cheers Kev
Hey Kev, it may be a bit of a jaunt for you to view it, stick with bowling clubhouses for now. 😉 Paul
Just started on my model railway journey and you build tutorials are do helpful.
Just building my first ever signal box from scratch - used your process as an outline but adapted in a number of different ways.
Mainly do not have access to materials. Using coffee stirers for the outside - looks quite realistic as i have cut thin strips - maybe longer - but worthwhile.
You are a joy to watch Paul, you make it look so easy. David.
You can comment anytime David, I like them a lot. 😉 Paul
@@GalgormHall Lol.😁
Awesome work Paul!!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.
Thank you as always Onno. Paul
Following with interest as always 😊
I’ve several 1950’s RAF buildings to construct. All the best, Ian
Hi Ian, this would be perfect for conversion to RAF buildings, perhaps just a change of window frames but other than that the representation is similar. Paul
@@GalgormHall Hi Paul, I agree and I’m off this afternoon to buy some stock card😊
Thanks again, Ian
Excellent start to your looking forward to part 2 thankyou for the video Paul
Thanks for the kind comment too Mark. Paul
Hi, loved the video of the scratch build, looking forward to seeing the next video.
Thank you for watching Graham. Paul
Hi Paul really nice job so far with the signal box. A very intresting design of box and a very modern one too. Look forward to the next one.- Nicholas.
Thank you Nicholas. Paul
Nice Work, Paul... Obviously, every stage is important, but these little bits before adding the details make or break a project. As always, educational and interesting to see your process!
Thanks Anthony, yeah it all takes time and a thought process to put it al together. Paul
Nice to see another video from you Paul, an excellent build, well explained and executed.
👍
Cheers Dave, any chance of another of your excellent historical videos soon? Paul
@@GalgormHall I may have something in the pipeline! I'm not as profilic (or quick) as I wish I could be :)
hi Paul, another great video showing inital structure!!!!, regards Roy
Thank you Roy. Paul
Interesting to watch someone design and scratch build something using your methods and how it differs to designing on computer software and laser cutting it like I do. People don't realise the amount of time and effort it takes and I'm intrigued to see how this develops. I've got a commission build of a signal box to do starting next month...in O gauge...I'm sure you'll finish first..lol.
Nice work.
Regards
Steve
Thanks Steve, I can’t get my head round the process required to do what you do even after watching the likes of Bexhill demonstrating the methods. Either way, as you say, there’s a lot of time and effort required but I do enjoy the entire process. I’ll look forward to seeing your O gauge box project. Paul
Another great video Paul can't wait for the next one mate
Thank you Ross. Paul
Nice work Paul..look forward to further progress..cheers
Thanks mate. Paul
Also great use of time lapse
Just found this video and love it. The topic is close to home as I live in Gillingham. It is good to see the techniques used to produce scratch built models, and I hope to have taken at lease a part of them on board to use for my own builds.
Thanks Stephen, I hope I’ve done the building some justice with my build. Paul
Hi Paul anther great video mate I really injoy it every interesting I hope you are keeping well mate goodbye for how clive
Thanks Clive. I got your email by the way, just haven’t responded yet. 😬 Paul
good vid paul as always keep up the good vids lee
Thanks Lee. Paul
Love your scratch-builds Paul, and this one promises not to disappoint! The precise way you approach a build is a great example to anyone attempting scratch building. This is an interesting building to model. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Best, John
Glad you like it John and thank you for the kinds words. Paul
lovely precise work...
Thank you. Paul
Very good Paul, Glad to see you back on youtube making buildings and landscaping again. Best wishes Pete
Cheers Pete, hopefully more regular content now too coming in to the winter months. Paul
Another quality scratch build Paul. Thanks for doing this as it is a welcome distraction. Mike
As long as it welcome and not unwelcome 😆 Thanks Mike.
Very good interesting you have a great skill
Thank you Michael. Paul
Well done as always.watching the builds iv tried building from scratch myself.
Thank you, I’m glad you’re able to get something out of them. Paul
Very nice. I never thought about using plastic and along with mount board card before. I’m looking forward to the next video to see how you put the two together. Another great video, which must take nearly as much time editing as doing the build. Thanks for posting.
Both mediums work well together Malcolm. As to the editing, it can indeed, particularly to get rid of all the ‘mms’ and ‘shahs’. 😆 Paul
Superb Paul another master class can't wait for the second installment we can all learn a lot from you. Regards Alan
Very kind of you Alan, thanks. Paul
Always good to see one of your scratch builds, and your right. There are plenty of "traditional" signal boxes out there in every material imaginable but no modern-ish ones. I may have to cast an eye over my local one again (though, from the road side it's a bit of an monstrosity!) Cheers
Thanks Davie, it’s something different from the norm. Paul
Hiya Paul, another masterpiece in the making…Great to see you doing you’re thing and following with interest. All the best, Chris
Thanks as always Chris. Paul
Hi Paul, great as ever, enjoy your videos. Just a pronunciation issue ‘J’illingham is Kent. Gillingham in Dorset is pronounced with a Gill as in fish. Keep it up mate. Following with interest
Thanks Ian and interesting about the pronunciation differences, I’ll bear that in mind for future mentions. 😉 Paul
¡Hola buenas tardes Paul! Great looking signal box and, one I'll be following along with and, building. Did you manage to provide list of the parts required at all? If not, I'll be holding my breath for the next instalment of the build. As ever, take care and, keep safe. Un saludo. Gary
Hi Gary, thank you for the kind words and a reminder to add a parts list to the description. The next instalment is out today so I’ll grab a minute and add those all important details. 😉 Paul
@@GalgormHall I’ll go raid the piggy bank for the necessary purchases then! 😆
A very nice tutorial, indeed. Might I ask why you chose card stock instead of plastic sheet for the walls? Tradition, cost, ...? Cheers!
Thanks Andrew. I’ve used both card and plastic sheet for builds and both have their merits. The card is inexpensive and very easily cut but does require more strengthening supports to prevent warping. Plastic is more robust but a right pain to cut. Paul
@@GalgormHall Thanks for your answer, Paul. I've been meaning to give cardstock a try. I have a small collection of model railroading books from when I was a teen in the late 50's and early 60's, and cardstock was used a lot in the projects they describe, hence my interest (in spite of all the plastic sheet I have on hand).
Hiya- are you working on A4 or A3? Interested in TB rather than Inkscape like Michael at Chandwell
Hello Paul
As always yet another great tutorial by a master scratch builder. I am really looking forward to watching your progression throughout this build with great anticipation.
May I ask what type of software that you use to do your editing please?
Stay safe, keep sharing and model on.
Regards
Lee@NEAR
Thanks Lee. I use iMovie on my iPad for editing, I find it very easy to navigate and does everything I need. Paul
Hi Paul, the music interludes volume is way higher than the voice over!
Just keeps you from falling asleep. 😆 Paul
Terrific project work Paul and makes for a fantastic tutorial filled with accurate detailed instructions and procedures 👍🖊📐
Thank you Charlie, I’m glad it comes across clear in the video. Paul
