London Underground Scenery

Section Switch Cabinets

These yellow cabinets can be seen in many locations by the lineside, and are used to isolate (switch off) sections of track from the traction current supply. The older type cabinets with sloping roofs are constructed from wood, whilst the more modern designs with rounded roofs are constructed from fibreglass. The paler versions are conversions of MSTS items by Ian Jenkins

Signs

A selection of station signs. These are conversions of MSTS items by Ian Jenkins. The street signs are renameable. The smaller white signs without legs are ideal for embeding into walls, there is now a renameable version of this for the typical station wall name plaques used on nearly every station. These are much easier to position than 'poster' type objects, as the alignment is not so critical.

Cable Gantries

These are used to carry the lineside cabling from one side of the track to the other. These are conversions of MSTS items by Ian Jenkins.

Track Ends

Trackside Signs

Station Buildings

Bridges and Embankments

Walls and Cuttings

A range of walls and other spline type scenery items to help in the construction of stations and cuttings. The initial range was of the recessed style used mainly on the subsurface lines in central London.

A new range has now been produced in styles as were to be used on the extension of the Northern Line to Bushey Heath. These were supposedly meant to be built in yellow brick, but the remains of the arches at Brockley Hill are clearly red brick ! Various reskins to different coloured brick are available. The walls are available in both fixed height versions that can be used as bridge parapets and the like, and "with footings" versions that extend into the ground so they can be raised to different heights and used as wing walls and such, at an angle. A range of pillars to terminate the walls and hide the open ends is also available.

Tunnel Portals

A range of tunnel portals again available in various coloured brick, both with and without wing walls. The design is based on drawings for the Elstree Hill tunnel on the partially completed Northern Line extension to Bushey Heath. The southern portal had been almost completed, the northbound tunnel driven 160ft of the planned 1,575ft, and the southbound by 50ft before work was suspended due to the war. Any remains of this tunnel were buried when the M1 was extended towards London in the mid 1960s.

Signals

A range of signals for use in my tunnels. The 3 aspect versions are for use on the Victoria and Central lines which are equipped with ATO (Automatic Train Operation). The white aspect is for ATO trains to proceed, manually driven trains must stop.

Platform Fittings

A range of items for adding to the platforms of above ground stations. The first three lamps and the mirror are conversions of MSTS items by Ian Jenkins. All use a platform height of 1.3m which seems to be the Trainz standard, but is actually too high to represent most of the London Underground. Surface stock  platforms should be 1.25m, Tube stock platforms should be 0.82m, and platforms used by both surface and tube stock should be 1.13m.
