WRRS Pedestal Relay/Phone Cabinet Kit: O Scale

NEW: Now includes 12 scale foot rod and footing for a complete install!

From the catalogs of Western Railroad Supply Company these type of cabinets go back to 1937 when they adapted “Western” into their name. Used alone for track circuits or crossing and train signals, they were used all over and many can still be seen today. Pedestal version was also used as a phone box.

There may be some minor sanding needed on the parts. We removed most all the supports, but there may be some small “bumps” where the supports were that will need to be sanded/filed off for a better fit. The hole for the pole has been reamed out for the included 3/32 tube, which is approximately 12 scale feet long. Before inserting the tube you may need to file off the top to be straight for the pinnacle to sit square. Carefully twist the tube in so as not to break the flange on the signal box. Gluing should not need gluing as it’s a snug fit. Use ACC glue for the cabinet door, pinnacle & base.

• Many of our parts come with supports still attached, and will need to be carefully cut. We always recommend a good sprue cutter for this. We suggest wearing eye protection.
  
• Parts that have had their supports removed may have some small bumps where the supports were removed that will need to be sanded/filed off for a better fit.  When sanding we suggest using dust mask and wipe with a moist paper towel so particles don’t become airborne.
• ACC glue works well for all our resin parts. Parts take paint well after priming. We recommend Mr. Primer Surfacer 1000 or Tamiya Surface Primer, but any good thin primer will work. All parts come unpainted.
• Parts must be primed/painted if exposed to sunlight as the resins will continue to cure and may become brittle. Normal indoor florescent tubes and LED lighting should not be an issue.
• All parts come unpainted.
