Model Railway Scenery Review - Signal Box No.4

Hornby Skaledale Signal Box No 4 – R8683            Rating 7/10

Review: The Skaledale Signal Box No 4 when added to the layout looked very realistic like the actual Signal Box's you see beside the railway lines. I was extremely impressed by the look of this particular Skaledale scenery building.

The brickwork at the bottom of the signal box appears to be individually hand painted with red's, brown's and orange colours being used, which adds to the realistic look obtained by Hornby. Although nothing special has been done to the windows and doors, this doesn't affect the main look of the building.  

The only disappointing part of the piece I found when looking closely was the name plate showing Skaledale Junction. It appears to have been glued over the name plate on the side of the building, and this is clearly visible as the rest of the name plate is a very dull green (like the painted stairs and doors) but the middle section where the name has been added stands out.
