Welcome to Wallsraiil
Yeah, I couldn't decide what to call it so just put Rail after my Name!!
What's it all about, good question.
Primarily building Model Railway Kits, modifying or detail enhancement of out of the box models and occasionally Scratch builds of something or other.
Because I don't want two channels, I will also upload some of my REAL railway footage too.
Mostly current day things that I see, well, work on.
At some stage in the future I'll sort through my VHS archives and transfer that as well. Probably in the winter months when its too cold to venture out to the garage!
Similarly, 3rd channel isn't happening either, so on the rare occasions I film a running related thing, that will also appear here.
Oh, and I say it quite a lot in my videos, I'm no expert, and this is not a how to (or in some channels cases, you've got to do it this way!) or tutorial channel. More like a blog of my experiences of the things I've learned or seen other people do.

3 minute review - KR Models Palbrick wagons
Good video - nice work. I could only do this to wagon kits I am building at around £9-10 anything above that would freak me aout esp when Acc wagons are now around £30
Its a confidence trick! I have the same fears on locomotives Practice on the cheap stuff and work upwards.
Ive only just discovered your channel. I have boxes of this old dublo stuff. It was certainly built to last. What you have done with this is simply amazing.
Name for signal box - Rockwell.
I have one of these 'Generic' signal boxes and it has a name plate of 'Overton' which is near Basingstoke, in what would have been possibly Southern Region territory; though there are no current requirements for a signal box there today. I have seen very similar styled signal boxes at 'Hump' martialling yards reconstructed post WW II here in the UK, Northern Europe and in America, from where the design probably originates. There are at least three states in America with places called Overton, so its design origins depend more on what could be passed off in different markets to maximise profits from one set of tooling.
It’s giving me Doncaster North and South box’s vibes
All modern chemical stuff is crap. As i say and lots hate it " Its all made for use by office workers " Apart from paper glue their safety awareness with chemicals is limited. So the companies make it weak so they don't hurt themselves.
Great video Nigel, really enjoyed this one. Regards Charlie.
Great video Nigel, really enjoyed this one. Regards to eBay and.
These buildings look like small airfield towers, or something from the states. Which era in the UK do they sit in?
Hi good morning I like what you have done to the Hornby Dublo signal box it looks really great. Thanks for this video Colin
Great job and a lovely result. It did look amazing in the bare metal though!
I know! Tempted to strip another one to use as a ???? Table ornament of sorts 🤔
Great job! I suspect the prices of the Hornby Dublo signal box will now skyrocket... 🙂 Personally, I would use some resistors to limit the LEDs a bit, I think they are too bright. Thanks for the video.
Very helpful techniques and ideas demonstrated there, thank you for sharing them with us.👍💖
Hey Nigel, signal box name gotta be named after you !!!!!! How about Miserly???? Due to your thriftyness 😂
😂😂😂
I've often wondered if one of those old boxes could be upgraded, so this was an interesting watch. The end result here is better than any modern ready-to-plant model IMO.
**looks around to make sure you're talking to me** Thinking am I worthy of such a mega channel commenting on my scant offerings? 🤔😂👍
Great result nigel, cheap brake fluid might have worked well. Great for stripping Lima diesels back to yellow Cheers Russ
Similar style to the metal Station Building at West Allerton - an Art Deco station building - which could extended by inserting sections - and with sloping sections. The colour was not " beige and something: it was a creamish colour mainly. This was/ is the mainline from Liverpool Lime Street . West Allerton next up Edggehill Engine Sheds ( long gone)
Wonderful. For metal automatic transmission fluid is a good paint remover. Brake fluid should also do the trick.
It looks much better and the windows and interior detail bring it to life. The original R61 Tri-ang signal box would benefit from the same. They just look abandoned without the windows, like vandals have smashed them all. The brick sections look good too. 😊👍
The window framing did it for me, plus when it was completely stripped back to bare metal Best regards
As for naming, if he controls a level crossing, it could be named after the street. If a junction, then <area> junction <compass direction>.
That's so effective. The modified windows are a huge improvement. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️
How about Binns Road for a name?!
DIALL is a byword for not very good DIY stuff.
You did a nice job of that
That’s ace! Very creative!
Great work. I've been looking for a large-ish signal box to replace my LNER one when I have continental running sessions - this might be just the job
great stuff she came out a treat
I’ve been waiting for this one! Excellent work. Very inspiring stuff for the one I picked up for a few coins at an exhibition.. The paint stripping problem with Dublo stuff is something I’ve learned about having obtained a tatty Co-Bo body shell. I left the thing in isopropyl for weeks.. nothing happened. The basic Diall stuff worked but it needed constant agitation and topping up. I ended up going at it with a wire brush on my Dremel and even then it still didn’t all come off! Will look already once painted and weathered..
Would the origional paint made a good primer coat?
@@user-sv4pj5jl8n very possibly. Although quite thick. Mine was chipped and scratched so needed to smooth it out. If it hadn’t been, might not of stripped it? But run into the dilemma of trashing a decent model 🤔
Signal box name? BINNS ROAD JUNCTION homage to birthplace of Hornby double 0😊
Not colourblind but colouruncoordinated 😂 my wife is probably the most vocal witness that this describes me perfectly. I used to have one of these I inherited from somewhere or other, I really wish I'd kept it after watching this...
@@jamfjord The wife says to me, are you seriously considering going out in those trousers and that shirt? Please change 😂🙄😶😑
Brilliant job, or I think it’s called up scaling now by the trendies, although that’s a bit of a confusing terms with models!
That looks great now! I had sen these for various prices on eBay… considered them a bit too “art deco” but I would reconsider them now based on a strip and repaint. I have also struggled with distressing powders. I’m new to that level of model building and painting.
Great makeover of an old model into something really worthwhile for your layout. From old toy to realistic modernist signalbox.
Good afternoon Mr train man 😊 That was really good bringing back a 1960 toy into something looks pretty good 👍🏻
Nice to see a picture of Deal signal box in your video. Know it very well.
Great insight into this problem. Another element that I think warrants consideration is the different type of couplings in use by the various manufacturers. What is your opinion on this ? Regards Charlie
Its a lot better - easier now compared to the 70's 80's when there was more manufacturers doing their own thing. With the introduction of NEM pockets and a sort of standardisation changing to what you prefer is easy. I like the small Bachmann type tension lock couplers
What an interesting project !
Paul the restorer uses some kind of acid for dinky toy restorations to remove paint...
He uses Caustic Soda. “Soda Kaustyczna” I have used it once. It worked well. I have also used Nitro Mors which works fairly well. I have used ScrewFix own brand “No Nonsense” paint stripper which also works fairly well. I haven’t found a “strips all” type of paint remover.
Good to have you back again, that's a great transformation of a 60s model to upgrade it nice , how about Eastgate west box ? As a name? Heard it somewhere
You can save a lot of time and effort by using thin spring steel wire from the arm, through a pivot point and allow the rails to move from side to side. The servo provides a small amount of over-shoot and this allows the spring steel wire to keep the rail pressed against the side rail. No sliding mechanism is needed.
Many thanks for such an excellent video. Next week I’m building and filming my platform construction for my branch line. Your measuring gig is brilliant, and I see that Hornby Magazine have a similar one, with their laser cut platforms. I will make one similar to yours with a link to your channel. However, I would also like to use some footage from your video as you pour on the “smooth it” filler. Is this okay with you? Clearly, I will give you credit for that footage which I would download from your video. Regards, Charlie.
When painting yellow for anything, anywhere, use a pink, yes, PINK, basecoat!
Will try this pinky method when I next paint yellow, Thanks 👍
Easiest way I've found to produce frosted glass is by using wire wool or a fine sandpaper on clear plastic. You can easily change the opacity of the frosting by repeating the process until the required result is obtained.
It sucks when you go to the bog and sound like a Class 37 starting up
Great tutorial. Thank-you...
Great video thanks for sharing, John
Good to see a video from you again. Look forward to the continued 31 saga in due course! Best wishes from a retired S&T man.
You make a good point regarding stay alive! 🤔 Perhaps there’s an automated gizmo that tells the engine to stop, rather than cutting power to make it do so? The technology certainly exists within those shuttle units you see used on end to ends… I think Everard Junction did a video on one?
You need your own Regional Control, with AOMs to keep that all moving! Top stuff!
