We announce the release of a KMRC Exclusive Graham Farish Scenecraft in N Gauge of the Truro GWR Type 7 signal box.
The Great Western Railway first introduced the Type 7 signal box design in 1896 and the design was used across the network with the last of its type being built in 1927. Key features of the GWR Type 7 signal boxes were a hipped roof, ornamental eaves brackets and highly distinctive operating room windows with sashes divided into three upper panes and two lower (intended to improve the signalman’s view of the line). The boxes were built of bright red bricks with Staffordshire blue brick often employed for plinths, quoins, and window surrounds.
The Truro type 7 signal box was built in 1899 as Truro East and is located at the eastern end the station overlooking the level crossing, it was renamed Truro in 1971 after the closure of Truro West box, when it also gained an impressive 54 lever frame from a Bristol box.
The highly detailed Scenecraft model of the GWR Type 7 signal box in 2mm scale is cast in resin, fully painted and fitted with etched metal window frames complete with realistic glazing. The staircase is supplied separately for user fitting. Although based on the box at Truro, the GWR Type 7 signal box could be seen at many other locations across the GWR system.
Chris Trerise, Managing Director said: “The Truro GWR Type 7 signal box is the first in a potential range of N Gauge Exclusive Graham Farish Scenecraft buildings, that like our 4mm scale range, have a local connection to either one of our branches, that hopefully will be popular with N gauge modellers.”
The exclusive to Kernow Model Rail Centre 42-011X Graham Farish Scenecraft GWR Type 7 Signal Box – Truro costs £54.95 and is available now.
