Ratio 536 Midland Signal Box – OO/HO Scale Kit

Scale Model Scenery

£37.99

Signal boxes have a real character to them — they're one of those lineside structures that, when done well, instantly root a layout in a specific time and place. The Ratio 536 Midland Signal Box does exactly that. It's modelled on the Midland Railway standard 4d box , with the characteristic hipped roof that defined this type right through to the end of mechanical signalling. The specific prototype is the box at Swadlincote Junction, Leicestershire — a proper historical anchor if you're aiming for period accuracy on a Midland-themed layout. It's also very similar to those seen at Bardon and Co

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SCALE MODEL SCENERY LIMITED, number 09285642. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
