Relay boxes

How many of yoiu have relay boxes on your layouts and do you have any pictures ? I was looking through the recent Walthers flyer and saw the Grandt Line relay boxes for $4.98 a pair. BLMA has some new electrical boxes, that are metal vs. plastic, but they are $7.75 each. I’ve seen them on a couple of layoput pictures and they seem to add another level of detail. Thoughts ?

I use the Grandt Line boxes, and am quite happy with them.

As an aside, I place a box at each complex of turnouts. Each box has a name with the interlocking’s name. The name also appeares on the control panel switch that controls the interlocking.

NJ International sells some nice ones too.

Looks like they would be pretty easy yo scratch build…they could be built for pennies and in a short time…Cox 47

I have been using the ones from Details West. Here is a link: http://www.detailswest.com/trackside.htm
