    Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I looked for 'signalling' and failed to find it. Lots of sections of forum for things which make smoke and noise but not for coloured things on sticks. Anyway...

    Does anyone have a GWR-pattern triple 10" horizontal wheel casting, rusty & seized as you like so long as the casting isn't broken, preferably with wheels but we might have spares if not, the frame is the most important bit.

    They look like this:

    They differ from the BR ones by having smaller fixing holes at closer spacing, thinner wheels (so the total unit is not as tall), and very possibly a different size spindle.

    Might be able to offer a BR one or a GWR single or double in exchange, though that would be subject to discussion.

    Cheers if you can help.

    Another website where you will find a lot of signalling related stuff is John Hinson's www.signalbox.org - the main site has a sales/needs section and the associated Forum has an 'S&T' section where your request can be posted as well.
