Traffic signs - Information signs H0 (1:87)

True-to-scale kit for information signs in scale 1:87

In 1965, the Association of German Hiking Clubs announced a competition featuring a "fresh hiking couple"; this resulted in the sign "Wanderparkplatz" (hiking parking space)*.

Our set contains 20 traffic signs suitable for use in any (West) German model railway landscape from the 1950s onwards. This set includes signs for parking lots, dead-ends, as well as gas stations and campsites, some of which are not yet available in 1:87 scale. An ideal complement to our other traffic sign sets.

The back of these signs is particularly eye-catching, featuring two highly detailed clamps that hold the sign to the pole. Included are 20 water-transfer decals for you to choose from, cut out, and apply.

Pro tips:

> Carefully insert the brass post into the clamps of the sign while turning it and only then paint it (if necessary, clean it of any grease before painting, e.g. with alcohol / isopropanol).

> Cut the signs a bit too generously and carefully sand along the edges with an old nail file. This creates the characteristic, thin white border around the coloured panels.
