I've just seen some metal railway signs do they make replicas of these? Actually they are enamle not metal.

I ask because if so I'll look elsewhere as I don't have much cash on me right now.
If however they might be original or hard to find, I'll buy one. The are only about £14.

I found the answer. It's yes they did make replicas. Cast iron metal. Prices are similar or slightly more to what was being charged. Thus I bought just a couple to put outside.

They looks to be full size as in same size as those I'd find on heritage railway lines. One says Southern Railways and talks about being quiet in respect of the neighbours. I don't have the fall wording to hand.

The other has:
Any person who omits to shut and fasten this gate is liable to a penalty not exceeding forthy shillings.

That's an LNER one and is thin and long. I seriously doubt they are originals but they will look nice on the wall outside, along with my original black and white Axminster station sign, which I got in an Axminster antique shop in 2014.

If they were originals of course even better but I doubt it.
