Working Signals

Part of the Ratio 'Quick Assembly' family of signals. These allow you to make home and distant signals quickly and easily. They include signal operating wire and lever. This kit enables you to replicate a GWR Home Signal. Kit includes pre-coloured signal arm, glue and paints required to complete model.

A pack of 12 x 3-lamp weathered-aspect plug and play signals in 4mm scale (OO), complete with control board and accessories.

The DCD-MGS-BR is the classic 3-lamp ground signal. It was first introduced in the mid 1930’s and spread far and wide. Most are still in use today. This makes it a great choice for layouts of many prototypes and periods. The STEAM era version has a slightly yellower “White” aspect, as ground signals in that period were often covered with tar-based “weathering” from steam locomotive induced pollution.

A detailed working model of a GWR lower quadrant junction signal with the short post to the left.

This detailed operating signal features LED lighting, shining through the red or green lens of the signal arm depending on position and a fine etched steel ladder. The signal fits through a 13mm diameter in the baseboard, allowing the motor and electronics to be fitted out of sight below the baseboard. Supplied ready for DC operation, conversion to DCC is possible using a static accessory decoder (not supplied).
