Working Signals

Part of the Ratio 'Quick Assembly' family of signals. These allow you to make home and distant signals quickly and easily. They include signal operating wire and lever. This kit enables you to replicate a GWR Home Signal. Kit includes pre-coloured signal arm, glue and paints required to complete model.

A working scale replica of the BR style 3-aspect colour light signal, with right hand diverging route feather. These signals are used at junctions to warn drivers that their train is being directed off the main route to a route diverging right.

Switchable between green, yellow and red aspects a 12-volt DC power supply is required.

The DCD-MGS-BR is the classic 3-lamp ground signal. It was first introduced in the mid 1930’s and spread far and wide. Most are still in use today. This makes it a great choice for layouts of many prototypes and periods. The STEAM era version has a slightly yellower “White” aspect, as ground signals in that period were often covered with tar-based “weathering” from steam locomotive induced pollution.

A detailed working model of a GWR lower quadrant junction signal with the short post to the left.

This detailed operating signal features LED lighting, shining through the red or green lens of the signal arm depending on position and a fine etched steel ladder. The signal fits through a 13mm diameter in the baseboard, allowing the motor and electronics to be fitted out of sight below the baseboard. Supplied ready for DC operation, conversion to DCC is possible using a static accessory decoder (not supplied).

A detailed working model of a SR lattice post home or stop signal.
Lattice posts were often constructed using four light steel angle section, these being braced together with a lattice of flat steel pieces, increasing the strength and rigidity of the combined structure at a modest cost in materials.
