Early Slotted Post Signals

Later style slotted post
bracket signals at Brockley.
Showing diverging lines of differing importance

Those seen above right are the earliest “through-the-box-roof” style - dating from c 1875 or even before, and those above left are perhaps the quintessential Brighton-style Saxby & Farmer slotted-post signals. Those below and left are the later plain design - lacking the broad-edged ‘slot boxes’.

Parts are available for building as single signals with one arm, as no 2,3,5&7 posts above, or as bi-directional as 1, 4 & 6 above.

The plain-ended earliest arms - as applied to the first “post-through-the-roof” signal boxes are produced - as well as later “hockey stick” arms. Early ground signals are also available - the version prior to 1902 (those after 1902 are produced by M.S.E. There is no overlap between E.B.M products and M.S.E.)

The later plain-sided design posts without the curved and moulded edges is also available. (See photos of the 1800’s refurbishing of Brighton Station, and also London Bridge and Lewes station realignment.)

Matching brackets for standard junction signals and off-set single doll brackets are also provided.
