Mallett's Models signal box
Another mystery kit - a signal box from Mallett's Models.
Inside the box, which I bought for a fiver out of curiosity, is a pile of wood and some instructions.
When assembled, the result should (apparently) be a 16mm scale model of a Lynton & Barnstaple 1935 signal box.
My L&B photo collection is minimal and looking on-line I can't find anything that looks like this.
I also can't find out anything about Mallett's Models. The tape on the box suggests they produced rolling stock kits. I assume they were also wooden wonders - can anyone fill in any more details of either maker or the prototype?

Lynton Groundframe http://lyntonstation.blogspot.com/2014/06/lynton-ground-frame-cabin.html I'm sure I have vague memories of these kits
It's at Lynton (and may still be, for all I know.

Thanks for the link - very useful, but obviously not a well-photographed building!
