Mile marker posts were introduced to in the UK from 1845 in the form of posts at quarter-mile intervals along the line-side. These are primarily as reference points that can be used to specify a position on the infrastructure, for example when reporting an incident or in connection with engineering work.
For over a century most mile posts were mostly painted white with black numbers, however from 1963 mile posts were generally painted yellow.

In this set the mile post numbers represent the following:-

7, 7¼, 7½, 7¾, 8, 8¼, 8½, 8¾

Please note these items are supplied unpainted, a light coat of primer is recommended first before painting to suit your layout.
