LMR sign

[John Gorman]

Does anyone have information on this sign?

Thanks

London Midland Region?

I'm thinking the style is reminiscent of the Lakeside Miniature Railway in Southport

Interesting! I'll follow the lead and see what I find.

Thanks for the response.

A few examples from the Lakeside Miniature Railway. Note they did use L. M. R.

I couldn't find the exact sign when I looked, but the colour is a good match and also it hit on hard times not so long ago

Longmoor Military Railway may be a possibility.

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway always used "LMS", never "LMR" as a short-hand reference.

The Longmoor Military Railway used a Royal Blue livery and yellow lettering and numbers - in a non-serif font, so this sign is very unlikely to be from there. See http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/9/longmoor.htm for an interesting description of this line as it was in 1963, some six years before closure.
