The colour of the actual signal post/structure was irrelevant in that respect. GWR ground signal castings were always painted black, although some were latterly painted aluminium in BR days.

Was GWR practice different?<br />Malcolm Nelson Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923635420542319012noreply@blogger.com
