Description
Banner repeater signals were provided when a lineside feature such as a bridge or platform canopy obscured the view of a running signal, and it was not possible to relocate the signal. They were basically of two types – independently lit, or the later type with internal illumination. The kit provides for the internal type, but can be modified to the internal type by making a casing for the rear screen. They were mounted on the owning company’s usual style of post, or sometimes hung from station platform canopies. Suitable posts are T200A (tubular); S002 or S0042 (lattice); S006 (wooden) or S0032 (rail-built).
