The Oat Foundry train departure board (called Split Flap) is a modern take on the classic displays historically found in European train stations and airports. Our Split Flaps are a one-of-a-kind, built-to-order, vintage-inspired sign for the modern era.
Pricing for our custom train departure boards is based on display size. Designed and priced as an architectural installation, our frame selection includes Classic Black and expands to Modern White or Enterprise Custom Color. Custom frame color affects pricing, along with any “Split Flap flair” (additional colors, symbols). To learn more, visit our pricing page.
We offer 100+ size options plus custom finishes.
