I was surprised to find this photo earlier today

(From http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/11637-gn-style-somersault-signals-at-nottm/)

and even more surprised to read the caption that they were still in use in the mid 1980s.

Are there any available on the DLS anywhere? I've tried searching for "somersault" and any variation on that spelling, but can't seem to find any.

Thanks

There are some Aussie ones available that look similar but there isn't the required range for full GNR style signalling.
 
Thanks Ed. I've eventually managed to find those, them problem was of course they don't feature the word "somersault" in the title. As you say, they don't feature a full range, although there is a double-arm-on-single-post version, it is only for a gantry. Looks like I may have to make/kit-bash my own.
Thanks.
