STATION SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Historic railway station signs, introduced in the early 1950s and removed during the 1970s, are reaching unprecedented levels in value fifty years later.
Items once picked up by rail enthusiasts for £5 or often much less, are now changing hands for thousands of pounds, with top famous named examples now showing a five-figure return.
Railwayana Auctions UK Ltd offered 91 examples of the British Railways era enamel 'totem' signs at its auction in early March, with examples from London's Paddington and Kings Cross both achieving £14,400 total.
Other locations that exceeded expectations were Brighton (£9,480), Penzance (£8400), Bristol Temple Meads (£7,440), Lake Side (£6,000), Darlington (£4,800), West Hartlepool (£4,080) and Royal Oak (£3,840).
Full realisations at ukrailwayana.com.
Lord Peter Hendy, Chairman, Network Rail, admires the London terminus examples that were part of the offer in the March auction, together with Railwayana Auctions UK auctioneer Neil Booth. RAUK.

ANNOUNCEMENT - OUR NEW FACEBOOK PAGE
Railwayana Auctions UK Ltd - (CREWE / MID-HANTS) is the established leading Auction House for Modern Traction Railwayana, including Diesel and Electric Nameplates, Numberplates, Worksplates, badges and crests, Flamecuts and Depot Plaques.
To service the growing interest in collecting such items, we have launched a new Facebook page -
RAILWAYANA: JUST MODERN TRACTION
which can be accessed via the Facebook link on our home page.
It is our hope that this Facebook page will provide a friendly forum for collectors of all things Railwayana Modern Traction to talk about the things that interest them, without the need for negative comments brought about by petty jealousy that we have hitherto suffered from one competitor. We have served the collecting fraternity for over 40 years and look forward to continuing to do so in this manner, moving forward with our recent Covid-enforced internet auctions.
