Congratulations, Ross! 
Andrew has a similar, two sided base, version that was presented to him by the forum at STIA 2009.
Enjoy!
(PS: Is there any resource for dating SEL's?)

Just this from Toyshop Steam by Basil Harley.
Signalling Equipment Limited or S.E.L. was 1 of 2 trade names (the other was Merit) used by J & L Randall Ltd, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, a British Toy Manufacturer. They made 5 Steam Engines between 1946 & 1965, four Stationaries and a Launch engine.

my finances are more than in order, so if I had a choice I'd have loads more than just 9 engines.
