Thank you very much to all of you who responded to my request. It was really very useful. On browsing the sites, products from Microscale do stand out though at a price as Lutz mentioned. I am sure they will connect to the digital layout with signal blocks but will have to figure it out. With the variety of different type of signals, I also need to understand how the Swiss protoype signals really work and to start with simple signalling, home signal and distant signals.

Hello Gautam
I agree that Microscale is wonderful, detailed and pricey!![:0]
So I am going to use them only on the closest/most observed part of the layout.(station, etc)
For the rest I have used Schneider Swiss Prototype signals for many many years.
Besides all regular signals they also have the mini signals for switches and a whole range of RhB signals too.
The last ones I bought (cost about US$ 20) at Modellbahn Bieri in Ebikon (near Luzern) last year.
So I think they are still in business.
Hope this helps

If you want to learn something about the Swiss signalling system, Bruno Laemmli provides some interesting information on his site (in German language, but with the pictures and machine translation, you should be able to find out the essentials).
