Main line railway sign
« on: May 01, 2008, 11:51:08 PM »
I wonder if this belongs to Tynemouth Railway Station.  :24:

I bought it from a second hand shop about 10 miles away.

It appears to me quite old. I have found other signs with the words 'main line' but they have all had the name of the station as well. So why this one hasn't got the name, i don't know.

It is almost certainly a sign from a signal box, so did not need to be cast to withstand weather. It would be used to identify the levers for points or signals.

I would have thought so. Best to ask on a Railwayana or Model railways forum. Probably not wildly valuable without a company name.
