Another new O gauge product is released from Railway Laser Lines and it comes in the form of this huge marshalling yard tower lighting kit.
Something that was seen in abundance up and down the country in marshalling yards and depots back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s but with the closing of a lot of depots and yards, these tall structures have gradually dwindled down to a fraction of what you could once see.
Our tower yard lamp has been designed in house and based on the tower yard lights that could have been seen at Blyth Cambois depot, Northumberland and there were 5 of these that lit up the depot and stabling point.
For the O gauge modern image modeller, these are an essential piece of kit to your layout and up until now, there has been very limited availability of any kind of tower yard light. The level of detail that we have added to this item is second to none, these include:-
-
- Made from our ModelBord material that is extremely strong and flexible. Only the ladder and base is made from MDF, the rest is made from ModelBord.
- Choice of Tower Height, now available in 2 different sizes, 350mm approx and 450mm approx
- Option of 3 different sized bases to choose from
- Option of having LED lighting
- 3D Printed Teardrop Lights with brass arms, wiring and resisitor (With LED Option Kit only)
- Metal flooring effect on the tower gantry
- Wiring box, with opening to allow further detailing and routing wiring through
- Rivet panels that ‘pop out’ to give that realistic effect around the tower joining sections
- A ‘Fully Built***’ option available – Sent in a protective MDF box, or an option to collect* them from myself (Bridgwater, Somerset). Contact us to arrange an invoice without delivery charges if collection required.
We have created a ‘How To’ video on this product and can be viewed by simply clicking on the ‘Video’ tab.
At the time of launch, only the non-lighting kit is currently available as we are working on the lighting at present, but we hope to release this very soon. Also, there is an option to choose to have the non-lighting kit fully made for you, including painting.
*** An allocation of kits will be made for the ‘fully built’ option. However, please note, all orders for a fully built kit will all be done on an order only basis. Once you have made your order, we will then allocate a kit to your order and will email you an estimated day of build and shipping (subject to covid-19 restrictions not changing).
