Description

Brick Relay Room Kit - OO Gauge

Brick relay rooms were built beside the line all over the network when British Rail brought in power signalling in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. These plain, windowless brick buildings with flat concrete roofs housed the relays and power supplies controlling the signals and points around a junction or station, and many are still in use today.

This laser-cut kit models a typical 6 metre relay room on its own concrete hardstanding, with a steel door, louvred vent, DANGER / KEEP OUT signs and a nameboard. The brick, roof and concrete artwork is fully weathered, with soot and rain streaks, damp and algae at the foot of the walls, moss and patch repairs on the roof, and a worn, dirty path out of the doorway.

Features

• Laser-cut 2 mm MDF with finger-jointed corners for a strong, square build
• Wall tabs locate into slots in the base and up through the roof slab, so the building squares itself
• Recessed steel door with brick reveals, concrete lintel and sill
• Printed self-adhesive stickers for the brickwork, roof slab, fascia and concrete apron, so no painting is needed
• Choice of nameboards, including a blank one for your own location name
• Engraved marks on the back wall for drilling cable entries to take cable trough trunking
• Full colour step-by-step instructions with 3D illustrations
