These authentic British Railways style platform lights come with warm white LEDs to accurately mimic traditional fluorescent tube fixtures widely used throughout the rail network from the 1950s to the 1990s, as seen at stations like Peterborough, Watford, Crewe, and Banbury.

Being part of our ModelSigns Premium range, these specialized platform lights feature exclusive new tooling that precisely captures the distinctive look of these iconic fixtures:

Ready for 12v operation - As with all ModelSigns Premium lights, these British Railways Platform fixtures are ready to connect straight to a 12v supply with a resistor already in place—no additional soldering required! For those wanting to use a different operating voltage, simply snip the resistor from the leads and replace with one suitable for your supply voltage.

Prototypically accurate - Our exclusive new mouldings are based on extensive research of the actual British Railways standard platform lighting fixtures, featuring the characteristic rectangular light enclosure that could be found either suspended or column mounted and commonly seen throughout the network from the 1950s onward.

Diffused enclosures - Just like the prototypes, our models feature properly scaled diffused enclosures that replicate the authentic appearance of real station lighting. The distinctive slim profile of the light housing with its characteristic grey top cap has been faithfully reproduced, looking just as realistic during daylight hours as when illuminated.

Authentic warm white illumination - At ModelSigns, we've carefully matched the color temperature to accurately reproduce the even, warm white glow of the fluorescent tubes used in these platform lights, creating the perfect ambiance for your station scenes.

Hand-finished details - These lights come fully assembled and detailed! The post-mounted version has columns painted in a very light grey. Both styles include the proper grey enclosure lid with a white light housing below.

Space for a station name decal - For the ultimate in authenticity, you could even apply a station name decal (not available from ModelSigns).

Inside each pack, you'll find 3 precision-crafted OO/HO scale platform lights that are ideal for your British prototype model railway, station scenes, or diorama!

These fixtures use high-quality SMD LEDs, offering superior performance compared to older grain of wheat style bulbs. The LEDs provide consistent, warm white illumination that perfectly mimics traditional fluorescent tube lighting for ultra-realistic appearance.

A little background...

Following the success of our previous ModelSigns Premium lighting ranges, we've created something truly special with our British Railways Platform Lighting series. These distinctive fluorescent light fixtures were a common sight throughout the network from nationalization in 1948 through to privatization and beyond, remaining familiar features at many stations today.

Our exclusive new mouldings capture the quintessential British Railways platform lighting styles seen in both covered and open platform areas. Whether illuminating your mainline terminus, rural halt, or depot area, these lights add that perfect finishing touch of authenticity to any British railway scene from the 1950s through the 60s and into the early 70s (or on heritage railways).
