OO Scale Ready to Paint 1950s Signalman Using An Absolute Block Instrument
ONLY 2 LEFT
£2.45

This OO scale 1950s signalman using an absolute block instrument is a single resin figure of a signal box operative at one of the defining pieces of steam-era railway equipment. Cast in grey ABS-like resin and supplied unpainted, he is ready to prime and paint in your chosen colours.

Place him beside a block instrument in a signal box interior, operating the commutator to communicate the state of the line ahead. The absolute block system was the backbone of safe railway operation through the steam era, and this figure captures it at the human level — one man, one instrument, one section of line. He is essential for any signal box scene that takes operational accuracy seriously.

A single figure at the heart of the absolute block system — indispensable for any serious signal box interior.

PREPARATION AND PAINTING

You do not need to use a primer with our products, however we know that some customers prefer to routinely prime models before painting. We sell Humbrol Primer.

You should use only acrylic paints. Enamel paint can have a very undesirable effect, so we would recommend avoiding enamels completely.

Resin can be cut using a Dremmel or fine saw and sanded using a fine sandpaper or nail file.

If you're glueing resin parts together you should use a superglue or epoxy-based glue. Regular plastic glues will not glue resin. We also sell superglue.
