Why this accessory matters

Distant signals were an essential part of traditional British railway signalling practice, providing drivers with advance notice of upcoming stop signals and improving line safety and operational flow. Southern Railway designs are especially distinctive and widely modelled in pre-grouping and steam-era layouts.

How to use it

Install the signal alongside the track at an appropriate sighting distance before a stop signal or station area. Ensure it is securely fixed into the baseboard for stability and visibility within the layout scene.
