Welcome to Overhead Signal Box

Historical Significance:

Overhead signal boxes were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during the era when railways relied on mechanical and manual signaling systems.
They often featured a combination of mechanical lever frames and electric or pneumatic systems to manage signals and track points efficiently.

The Build:

This signal box is built from 3,071 parts and includes everything needed to manage train traffic, ensuring safe and efficient train movements.
It features a team of 5 minifigures who are responsible for communication and coordination between trains, stations, and other signal boxes in the area.
On one of the railway tracks there is a covered wagon waiting for a shunting locomotive to hook it up to a train moving to a neighboring city.
Positioned above the tracks, this structure provides operators with a clear, panoramic view of the rail yard or track layout.

Interior Details:

- Modern computers for advanced operations.
- Mechanical levers for controlling signals and track points.
- A cozy kitchen with a coffee machine to keep the staff energized.
- A toilet on the ground floor for convenience.

Final Words:

This signal box combines historical charm with practical functionality, capturing the essence of railway operations in its golden age. I hope you enjoy this creation and can appreciate the attention to detail that went into every part of this build!
