The Ratio Midland Signal Box (manufacturer part number 536) is a 00/HO scale kit modelled on the Midland Railway’s standard 4‑inch‑high box, featuring the distinctive hipped roof seen at the prototype in Swadlincote Junction, Leicestershire. The design remained in use until the end of mechanical signalling.
The kit includes pre‑coloured components and measures 130 mm in length by 50 mm in width. Glue is required for assembly, and additional painting or weathering – for example with the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS‑360 to PS‑365 – can enhance realism. A matching interior kit (Ratio 00 553) is available for further detail.
All parts are supplied ready for construction, and the finished box provides an accurate representation of a historic Midland Railway signal box.
