There's a lot of great model railway stuff these days.
I've long wanted to build a dioramic model railway, based on late 1940's to maybe mid 1950's, set "somewhere in eastern England", with a country station and small market town. The terrain and architecture would be the main focus, although the railway element would, off course, be detailed and realistic.
I've recently being looking at kits, rolling stock, accessories etc, but unless I have a big lottery win (would need a bigger house !), and probably an extra 10 year lifespan, it's unlikely to happen !
Geo, there are actually tiny LED kits for stoves, fire places, welding machines etc, and they look very realistic !

In the U.S., they're called towers. Usually block tower. It's a generic term for them, be it block tower, signal tower, director tower or even block station.

I picked up this 1/48 Monogram kit of the Panther F9F-5 at the IPMS meet for 10/15 bucks the molds say 1990 and the decal are 2001 the stencils were giving way some.I have about 4hrs building and about 3 hrs on the decals thus far a quick build giving the Scharnhorst a rest.I have the ICM Lilly in the stash thinking about the GB going on now.

Really nice and still holding its own
The fuselage I hardly had to sand did fill in three spot all on the bottom sprue gates.I might should of sanded that L/wing a bit more but honestly it's a quick build and just for fun.I wish someone would do a nice 1/32 kit and not a cottage kit.

Nice, I'm been keeping an eye out for Harry Brubaker's Panther kit. I'm working on the Monogram SBD. I last built it when I was around 14 in the Mid 70's. I almost wasn't going to start it, the kit is so dated, but a modeler on the Britmodeller site finished one, and it inspired me to build.I picked up this 1/48 Monogram kit of the Panther F9F-5 at the IPMS meet for 10/15 bucks the molds say 1990 and the decal are 2001 the stencils were giving way some.I have about 4hrs building and about 3 hrs on the decals thus far a quick build giving the Scharnhorst a rest.I have the ICM Lilly in the stash thinking about the GB going on now.

Very nice model and with those unbelievable working hours, you're a champ!I picked up this 1/48 Monogram kit of the Panther F9F-5 at the IPMS meet for 10/15 bucks the molds say 1990 and the decal are 2001 the stencils were giving way some.I have about 4hrs building and about 3 hrs on the decals thus far a quick build giving the Scharnhorst a rest.I have the ICM Lilly in the stash thinking about the GB going on now.
I'm building 2 of those (a short and a long-nosed versions) since years - like all my models, they are unfinished yet.
Just out of curiosity: what colour did you use for the wheel wells. (IMHO there are 3 choices).
Cheers!
