Two Lamp huts with glazing - OO9/OO/HO based on Buckfastleigh buildings

This kit consists of two huts of a typical lamp hut and was based on the one at Buckfastleigh operated by the South Devon Railway. Two are included along with laser cut glazing to fit into the window recess from inside

The footprint of the building is is 37mm x 25mm and 31mm high.      Lamp huts were small structures found on steam railways that were used to store and maintain the lamps and lanterns used for signaling and illumination purposes. In the early days of steam railways, signal lamps were manually operated by railway workers who would stand on the trackside and wave a colored flag or lantern to indicate to the train driver what to do, such as whether to stop or proceed with caution.  

As railways became more complex, signaling systems became more sophisticated, and the number and types of lamps required increased. Lamp huts were built to house and protect the lamps and lanterns from the elements and to make it easier for workers to access and maintain them.

The huts were typically small, wooden buildings located near to the railway tracks, and contained shelves or racks to store the different types of lamps and lanterns. The lamps would be filled with oil or gas and checked regularly to ensure they were in good working order.

Signal lamps and lanterns were crucial for safe railway operation, especially at night when visibility was limited. They were used to signal to train drivers when to stop, slow down, or proceed with caution, as well as to warn of any obstacles or hazards on the track ahead. Lamp huts played a vital role in maintaining the signaling equipment and ensuring that the railway ran safely and smoothly.

 When painted this is a nice addition to any layout, using normal car primer and acrylic paints. The pictures show the painted versions which are not included.  

 

The model is shipped from stock and is ready to paint.

We print and make our own models here in the UK using high detail resin. The sale is for the unpainted building and laser cut glazing.   Finishing: All items are cleaned and cured by hand. They are unassembled and ready for you to prime and paint. We do our very best to remove support marks but some fine sanding may be required. All pieces and parts come unprimed and unpainted with all supports removed. Please do bear in mind that resin can be quite delicate so try to avoid dropping your parts! Sadly, we can't be held responsible for breakages once your item has arrived. However, if the piece is broken in the post, please provide images and we will of course see what we can do to help.
