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 independent type, but can be modified to the internal type by putting a casing over 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 T18 (tubular); S7/02 or S7/42 (lattice); S017 (wooden) or S032 (rail-built).
