8 Set of Signs with Together 96 Tags Different Railway Companies G Scale

[ebay mike]

I've checked these out on ebay several times in the past, thinking they looked good and could come in handy. Eventually decided to take the plunge despite not yet having found a specific use for them.
Seller is Zenner-shop in Germany with an impeccable feedback in excess of 5000, so no worries there - and they take PayPal. I paid £15.92 plus £2.79 postage which didn't seem out of the way. Service was impressive - 4 days from order to receipt. Delivered by Airmail in proper box with more than adequate packing.
Product comprises 8 sprues of 12 different signs. Manufactured in black plastic, with the signs being approximately 1mm thick. The reverse of each sign has two small 'pips', presumably to assist with locating. The logos are well printed and crisp and would appear to be on a par with those seen on LGB models and the like. Individual sizes are (all in millimetres):
DR 20x10
Ochsle 20x10
HSB 31.5x10
Brohltal Eisenbahn 31.5x10
Zillertalbahn 31.5x10
St.L.B. 31.5x10
RhB 31.5x10
STLB 31.5x10
FO 31.5x10
BVZ 20x10
OBB 20x10
<+> 20x10

So there you go - 96 signs at less than 20p each. Buying this quantity would enable sets for a rake of the individual railway companies to be made up for distribution amongst interested parties at a reasonable price.

Those sprues are by Bachmann/Lilliput - they are the same set supplied with models like the Lilliput Euro-ised version of the little 0-4-0 diesel, designed to be added as cab plates to customise the loco for whatever line you're modelling.

Thanks for that Jon. I've got a goodly selection of Bachmann US outline flat wagons, hoppers and gondolas which I may Europeanise with some of these.

Zenner shop is in Saarbrucken, we have a man down there albeit on the French side of the border
I rently bought a 0-6-0 loco in HO and a similar sprue came with it, so I can vouch for the quality
