LSWR Signal Box Lever Frame

Here is the lever frame for the new signal box (previous posting). It is loosely based on the Stevens Frame in common use on the L&SWR.

This was the third attempt at devising a paper and card construction method that can be made without too much difficulty. Even so, these are very small parts and a bit fiddly to assemble. (Levers are 15mm tall and 1mm wide).

There are 5 parts to the build:

• the frame base plate
• convex slotted frame overlay and foot board
• row of levers in 'Normal' position
• row of levers in 'Off' position
• lever identification plates.

The frame looks operational but is entirely cosmetic - levers do not move.

There is a useful site about lever colours here.
