Yes a valid point. What I was really aiming to say is that it would be nice to see 'scale sized' signal heads. You could get some Eckon signal heads, rip them off the posts that they come with, and mount them on the gantry. It would be acceptable to file them down so that they were rectangular and took up the minimum amount of room as this is done in real life with gantry-hung heads.

There's a selection of commercially available ones here...http://www.cravenmodels.com/SIGNALS%20OO.htm

Or as I mentioned above, for a fraction of the price just get some mini LEDs from maplin and drill out a strip of black plastic/wood.
