Moldex R68 Station Name Boards

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduced with the other station buildings in 1958, the name boards also remained available until 1967. They were available separately and were also used in the Australian station sets.

 

 

 

Early models were supplied with the same printed sheet of Australian station names used with the R61 Signal Box. The labels were intended to be applied by the purchaser. At some stage, this practice was stopped and models were supplied with UK sourced transfers already applied. Later ones possibly had no names applied at all.

 

The station names supplied were all from the mainland state capitals and probably by accident some names chosen occur in more than one city. The table below shows which names came from which city. The choice of names is odd as most are large suburban stations, some are major city termini and one is an underground station.
