Set 4370 - station signpost
(1/1)
playmofire:
I've got two of the station signposts from the 4370 station - see here:

and I cannot work out how it is possible to have signs pointing outwards. I know that both signposts have a peg missing off the rod on which the signs are hung, but even if this were there, I still cannot work out how the signs stayed sticking out. If I could work it out, I might be able to repair them.
GrahamB:
I do like those signs, but I have never had one. Do the missing pegs push in to hold the signs in the horizontal position? Can you post pictures of the parts you have?
I guess one possibility is that the end of each sign has an asymmetric hole and the spindle on which they rotate has a cross-section which allows the signs to 'click' into the upper horizontal position. Hard to describe and I am sure it would be apparent with the part in front of you, sorry not much help!
playmofire:
I'll do as you say, Graham. It's taken me some time to work out how the signs are put together until I came across a set of photos for an eBay item in Germany which included plans, but even then, and taking account of the fact that both signs I have have a small peg broken off, the plans don't help much.
