I would be inclined to try getting the concrete lump out and putting in a concrete post. Bard work though!

Up and running albeit with a 'normal' decoder rather than HM7K - not enough room.
But that is a very bright headlight!

I have absolutely no need for another signal box on the layout.
I have always liked the NER over rail signal boxes.
Both these statements are true but are not mutually exclusive so when TMC sent me another discount voucher for their sale one of their Bachmann signal boxes found its way into a parcel at better than half price.
It will be located in the valley behind the waterfall.
Of course, it needs a name plate and I could have ordered a laser cut version online, but 20 minutes playing on Tinkercad and I came up with this.
Printed in 3, 3.5 and 4mm as a trial.
