Hi All.
Just thought I'd show you what I've been up to today in between waiting for coats of paint to dry:
It appears to be some sort of instrument through which the telephone wires enter the building from the telegraph pole and is set roughly centre of the original.
It's put together from old bits of brass and nickel silver fret together with some more brass wire and thin fuse wire, with blobs of solder serving to represent connectors. The end of the wire will either be connected directly to a telegraph pole set immediately adjacent to the model, or run to another part of the building. Was quite straightforward to put together; the hardest being to get the fuse wire to accept solder.
Well, that's the last of the photos for now at least until the building is finished.
Regards,
jonte
