Here's a little detail I've been wanting to make for myself since practically forever, and only now have the ability to achieve it. The ubiquitous cast iron relay shed:



For size reference:



Should I put it into production?

Yes!!  This is exactly what I need to finish the Walong signal bridge.

Not exactly the same profile, but close enough.

P.S. The back savers look great too.  Will be getting a bunch of those.

Pricing  
will be critical.  The right price and I need dozens.  The wrong price and I need none.  Modeling a district with most signals removed these will look awesome in rusty/dusty/unkempt condition. 

Same with backsavers, hoping for the backsaver yellow bar only, mounting it to a regular slide switch with a 00-80 screw or similar.  With next layout planned for very near eye level I'm more concerned about a general sense of 'visually right' but still durable enough for everyday use by 1:1 scale fat clumsy fingers...
