Building the Wisbech line
I have been trying without luck finding within the DLS (content manager) these two British railway signs for use on my planned branch line. The first sign (or sign post) I'm looking for is this one... a red/white sign - 'Stop, look & listen. telephone before crossing' - as seen and used on farm level crossings and also on ungated level crossings up and down the UK. the other sign (or sign post) I haven't found yet to download is this red example used near stations and level crossings (used to warn of people trespassing onto the railway) - 'Warning. Do not trespass on the railway penalty £1000'

I have intensively searched both the DLS and also the built-in content on my trainz 2009 edition but cannot find these two signs as I don't know what their DLS / content manager search names are in order to download them. Many thanks if anybody can supply the search name needed so I can download these two railway signs off the DLS via content manager.

Also, DS Sign Railway is exactly what you're looking for... In fact there are a few! Just search for DS Sign Railway and you should be in heaven.

Yes, this is a dual language sign from a photo taken on a visit to Wales a couple of years ago, KUID2:275817:23138:1. It just appealed to me! I could easily do an English language version only.

DS sign railway only comes up with Australian signs, etc, and still no luck finding these two elusive UK railway notice signs - (the small red ground sign ''warning, do not trespass on the railway penalty £1000'' nor the UK farm crossing (red/white board) sign - ''stop, look listen. phone before crossing'' either from the DLS or in my trainz 2009 built-in content. Tried all possible options my fellow trainzers helped with but DLS came back with no results displayed.

if all else fails & I still can't find them to download, maybe I could take some photos of the full sized sign posts still in situ on the currently disused & closed Wisbech & March railway line here in Cambridgeshire.
 
Use Content manager for searching,
Author domsarto, search DS Sign Railway.
Author marky7890 search Open Level Crossing Sign and if you need one Stop Board - Obtain token & Authority.

Also look through author adrian19.

You're right. Make sure you tick the TRS2004 box on the search, then you should find them fine :)

Many thanks so far to all those trainzers with their help for info on how to download some BR warning signs :) Hoping to build a reasonable sized route based upon the old March (cambridgeshire) via Wisbech (Cambs) to Watlington junction - ((junction with the Ely to King's Lynn main line)) nr Downham Market in norfolk . Plenty of guidance for me as I'm basing this virtual 16 mile route from photos and maps in 2 books I have of the old Wisbech GER branch line - closed in 1968 to passengers & freight in 2000.
 
Anyone interested in the old railways around Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, then check out these two books (which I have myself) - 'Branch Lines Around Wisbech' by Andrew C. Ingram; and the other book 'Branch Line To Upwell (a small Norfolk village near Wisbech) - this books covers both the old, now filled in Wisbech canal and also the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway (of which Reverend W. Awdry, Parish Vicar of Emneth village, Norfolk, got the inspiration from for Toby The Tram.

Both these books have maps and photos of the 3 long-lost railway lines serving Wisbech - The 1847 to 1968 G.E.R branch line from March, Cambs to the junction with the King's Lynn - Ely main line at Watlington Junction, Watlington village in Norfolk (this 16 mile route I'm hoping to resurrect in virtual form on my PC); the 1848 to 1959 M&GN branch from Peterborough, Cambs to Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire; and the 1883 to 1966 Wisbech & Upwell roadside Tramway, first using steam tram engines and then from 1952 to closure two Diesel drewey tram Locos (BR class 04) with cowcatcher and skirted sides.

This is for TRS2004, so anyone intereted should check the 2004 box on the DLS.

Anyone interested in the old railways around Wisbech

Yes. Other books are 'Peterborough to King's Lynn', Michael Back, Middleton Press,ISBN 978-1-906008-32-1; 'Ely to King's Lynn', Adderson & Kenworthy, Middleton Press, ISBN 978-1-901706-53-6; and 'A Guide to the Midland & Gt. Northern Joint Railway', Nigel J L Digby, Ian Allen, ISBN 0-7110-2187-2. I acquired the first two recently; the Digby book dates from 1993 so may be out-of print.

Almsot forgot to mention, I also have the Ely to King's Lynn book too. As with Wisbech, I've been many a time past the site of Wisbech East GER Station though now yet another crummy modern housing estate, down Victoria Road, & been along a footpath which has been opened up along a short section of the trackbed adjacent to the old gate house LC down Meadowgate Lane.

All we have left for my town is just the closed, overgrown 8 mile single rail line between March & Wisbech (originally was double track until 1972), last used for Spillers Pet Food & Metal Box freight in 2000. Although in May 2001 a special EWS charter somehow ventured down the poor state of the track. Couiple of years later Netwrok Rail mothballed the track and closed it. check out www.bramleyline.org.uk to see what is happening with the branch. I'm one of the members of this heritage railway trust trying to restore and re-open it to passenger trains again.

Just made this by editing my bilingual sign - any good? Not sure what size it should be so tried about 30" wide by 17.5" high. Perhaps you know what the correct size is.
