VR Station Sign Timber - 10L
When built, most stations on the Victorian Railways had a timber station sign of a standard design, painted black with raised white letters. These were either free standing on posts, or fixed to the front wall of the station building (or other platform building as required). From the 1940s, many of these signs were replaced with the London Underground styled 'round' signs, or simple rectangular enamel signs. From the 1950s, some remaining signs painted white with black lettering (this occurred when the buildings were painted in plain 'cream'/'off-white'), or in some cases yellow with black lettering (this appears to have occurred only with the painting of buildings in the 'duck egg green' colours, however not all locations appear to have this colour).

Although to a standard design, the signs had a custom length to account for the name of the station. Some locations also included a 1-2 'letter' size gap at the ends, depending on the side of timber used at the time.

This model represents a free standing '10 letter' VR timber station sign, for use on the platform, behind the platform fence (if applicable). This sign uses the Trainz 'text'/'name' function, using 'arial' font which is reasonably close, but not identical too, the original lettering. The signs use a mesh library for efficiency.
