Personalised Station Nameboards To Order - £3.50 per set
Stations form the focal point of the majority of layouts, so why not have your own choice of name added to the platforms? Choose from one of the five styles shown below and pick any name, prototypical or fictional, and we'll do the rest!
Ordering Information
All stations need an identity, and we are pleased to offer sets of nameboards made up with your own choice of name for any location. Each pack contains 3 different sizes of boards (scroll down for more information). A choice of five styles are currently available.
More Station Detailing...
STYLE 4-55A: INTERCITY. Introduced in the 1980's to stations served primarily by InterCity trains, this style of nameboard can still be seen at some locations today. This photo shows the medium sized board that is generally spaced along platforms at regular intervals (8 per pack) and the smaller version attached to lamp-posts and buildings. (About 20 per pack).
More Station Detailing...
STYLE 4-55B: REGIONAL RAILWAYS. Probably the most numerous style of sign that appeared after sectorisation. Apart from InterCity (above) and Network SouthEast, this sign would suit almost any provincial station from Scotland to Cornwall. Numerous examples can be seen today around the country.
Billboards
STYLE 4-55C: GREAT WESTERN. The privatised TOC's have generally been quick off the mark to rebrand their trains and stations in house colours. This style is suitable for FGW routes out of Paddington.
More Station Detailing...
STYLE 4-55D: GNER. Appropriate for those routes out of Kings Cross to Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. This example shows the large size platform-end nameboard, common at many stations, that is large enough to greet passengers as the train rolls in. (2 per pack).
More Station Detailing...
STYLE 4-55E: BRITISH RAIL. Introduced as part of BR's Corporate Identity Programme, these plain white boards set the standard for the entire network, and many lasted well into the 1990's before sectorisation and privatisation swept them away.
