Thought that was a bit of a Ffestiniog disc signal...

Great photo Tom! You should be proud!
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

That's exactly what I wanted it to look like Andrew, however, Brian is right it is a piece of Meccano which has been living in the Lego box for some time so it's finally found it's place in the world ;)

I prefer a painted dome ;)

I got the idea from the RH Vale of Rheidol model:

Totally with you on the "painted dome" opinion Tom, it's just that I normally prefer to see matching "collar and cuffs" ;)
