I picked up a 469 Signal House recently knowing that the signal man's hand and sign was missing. I would like to fix it up but do not have another one to copy. If anyone has one can they take some photos or dimensions so I can make one. Plus the internal light has been modified so a good photo of the internals would be helpful. It may be that it's only good for spare parts and I have yet to come to that conclusion.
Any help is appreciated.

Have not seen this one before.
Might it be a larger scale than HO?
Here is one from Lionel that looks similar.

Hi Roger,

Nice signal house! As far as I know, the internals of your signal house are original, like in this link: Fahrdienstleiter

As for the broken arm, you can buy one from TTN shop, but it would cost about 100 euros.

It's definitely Marklin standard catalogue. I've tried a few times to find TTN and failed. Who are they and where.. Can you post a link. The 100 Euros seems a bit steep but I guess they wouldn't sell many and they would be difficult to cast.

Roger, here is the link to TTN: http://www.ttn-shop.com/

Does your signal house have the box?

It was sold with a box but the box was for an uncoupler track section 13600EK. I knew this before I bought it. It was bought in on the east coast of Australia which was quite unusual as uncommon items like this rarely come up down here. he has a lot more Marklin like 3025, DL800, DT800, SK800, ST800, CCS800 and more common items G800 and F800. He was after an outrageous amount of money and I lost interest. Plus he had a huge amount of spare parts.

Hi Roger,

It turns out that there is a cheaper source (about 70 euros cheaper) than TTN for the parts here: Franz Nowack

He also has complete housings for SLR, HR and HS 700 as well as R and SLR 800.

I sent him an email to see if he is still selling as the pricelist is from 2007. Its and interesting contact with a lot of spare parts.
