Hi everyone,
I have these scraps of etches left over from a Mitchell CM40 GWR signal box kit and I've been using some bits to detail a Severn Models signal box. On one of the frets are two signs, an S in a circle and a T in a square (see image below). I've Googled but to no avail. Can anyone tell me what they are?
Thanks, Nick

I believe the last survivor was on Speech House Road signal box, seen here in about 1962.

Re: Signal box signs
Presumably they are hung just below the window on each side so the signalman can lean out and turn them over if there's a problem?
