Up and running albeit with a 'normal' decoder rather than HM7K - not enough room.

I have absolutely no need for another signal box on the layout.
I have always liked the NER over rail signal boxes.

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.
