The BR Standard shunt signal. That acts as the yard exit signal No27, at Boat of Garten. Has been removed and replaced by a refurbished McKenzie & Holland, ex Highland Railway signal. This signal has been in our store for some time awaiting restoration. I am happy to report that this has now been completed and the signal has been put into use as the yard exit signal No27. The signal can be viewed from the south end of platform 1 or 2. It is suggested that the signal came to the railway many years ago from Pitlochry yard. The photographic evidence we do have does suggest this to be true.

| From the railway archives, a picture of what we believe is the same signal fitted as the exit to Pitlochry yard. |
There is lots of other small restoration jobs like this that we would like to do. If you would like to get involved please get in touch.
