Tankerton Town - Signal fitting

15mm drill bit arrived today, so able to fit the 2 N gauge Dapol signals onto the board. One on the left is the GW (I know!) Lower quadarent home. The finial needs replacing to represent the Mackenzie and Holland type (3mm Society casting) then should be fair reesentation of an SR lower quadarent type.
Fitted by the bay platform is an LMS upper quadarent, purely there for siting and wiring purposes which will eventually be replaced with the GW LQ type as per the main platform. Both signals will powered by a 9v battery and push to make switches.
I also have a couple of John Walkers SR ground signals which I hope to have working but at the moment still trying to work out how.
Not finished the bridge yet, wing walls, parapets and buttresses to add plus weathering, but pretty pleased so far. The photo cruelly shows the paper has bubbled, hopefully a protective coat of varnish will help after weathering.
