Ratio N 259 Wartime ARP Type Flat Roof SIgnal Box Plastic Model Kit

These specially reinforced ARP (Air Raid Precautions) signal boxes featured substantial construction, primarily to protect the locking room gear from bomb blasts during air raids in World War II. A number of similar signal box designs were still to be found around the rail network until quite recently, due to them being difficult to demolish!
Based on the LMS-designed example at Town Green, Ormskirk the Ratio kit faithfully replicates the prototype and builds into a sturdy, if not bombproof, model. All moulded parts are produced to a high standard and in base colours. Kit requires painting and light weathering to create the model pictured above.
