Manufacturer description

We are delighted to introduce the Signalman’s Token Platform to the Scenecraft range as part of our Autumn 2022 British Railway Announcements.

Signalling is an essential lineside feature of any railway operation, large or small, and the use of ‘tokens’ was once paramount to the safe working of any single line section. Whilst much of the equipment needed for the token system was usually hidden away inside the Signal Box, platforms like this were used by the bobby to exchange single line tokens with train crews as they entered or left their section, so why not site one alongside the Signal Box on your layout.

MODEL FEATURES:

• OO scale
• Highly detailed, hand painted models
• Fully decorated and ready to place on your layout

Catalogue listing

Bachmann Signalman’s Token Platform (Manufacturer Part Number: 44‑0513) is a ready‑made OO‑scale component that was added to the Scenecraft range in the Autumn 2022 release (approximately 01/10/2022).

The platform represents the low‑level token exchange point that a signalman’s assistant would use to hand single‑line tokens to train crews. It can be positioned alongside a signal box on a model railway to illustrate this historic method of line control.

Key features include a highly detailed, hand painted finish, full decoration and the item is supplied ready to place on a layout.
