Stations signage beyond Amersham

With exception of Aylesbury (I believe), they certainly did towards the end of LT operation.

They were mostly paper stick-on signs iirc

When building my model of Gt Missenden I managed to scrounge several pictures from locals (some have ended up in various collections now held by Buckinghamshire Library at Aylesbury).

For the period I model (early 1920s), cast nameplates seemed to be the normal, but I did come across one taken in the late 1920s that appears to show a "Met diamond" sign on one of the fences backing onto the goods yard (the subject of the picture was a PomPom in the goods yard and the sign was out of focus), however another picture taken at the same time still had cast signs in place.

There are pictures taken in the 1940s that show LT roundals, together with cast name plates.

There are also pictures taken in the 1950s that show the roundals - I think some appear in the Edwards/Pilgrim books. In these the cast signs appear to have been replaced.

Later the roundals were replaced with BR lozenges - not sure whether these were Eastern of Midland coloured as the pictures were B&W.
