This kit represents the corrugated steel arm signal used by the London & North Western Railway from the 1883 onwards, through the LMS period and into BR days. Signals of this type were in use at least until 1975, and probably later still. The ladder can be placed at the rear (for signals installed 1883-1901) or at the front of the post.

The kit may be built as a home or distant signal in any height up to 25ft.

The kit is designed for mostly soldered construction, but Araldite or superglue can be used in more places, particularly if the finished signal is not intended to operate. Some simple marking out, cutting and shaping of parts is required. To see exactly what is involved in constructing this kit, download the instruction sheet as an Adobe Acrobat® file (141kb).
