Lever frames

[Buz]

Hi all

I hope this is in the right place if not moderator please move to the right place.

I need lever frames from what I can work out a four lever frame for platform mounting and an eight lever ground frame.

Whether or not the large frame should have a ships wheel for the crossing as well is unclear at this point in time

The frames look very different to the Wills kit ones having short levers in a set up different to what I am used to.

How would I go about making them or is a casting available for this kind of detail there absence would be very noticeable.

Not only because I know they should be there but also because some obvious method of controlling the points and signals should be there.

Severn Models do an etched lever frame and like all their stuff it is a little jewel. Advice is to assemble with cyano, so worth checking their website to see if it matches what you want.

From the looks of it only a cabin frame not a ground frame.

But the manual working point levers do look interesting.

Springside do nice levers as part of their signalbox interior kit. Dart castings do some good whitemetal castings of ground frames. I have used them in the past, link here to the page. Perhaps you could modify 2 of the 6 lever ground frames?
