I drew it as far as I can remember the shape, size, color and holes.
The signs if orange plastic are fixed to objects by nails (for these are the holes), pointing into the direction to follow the track.

The size is about 2.8 (base) × 4.4 (height) inches (see Rakiura 992.jpg);
an older version is 3.5 × 3.5 inches and of more yellow orange (see Rakiura 845.jpg).
There are several other sizes of marker triangles in use, smaller ones and almost equilateral shaped ones (89 × 89 mm, see Old track mark.jpg).

Long distances with no possibility for track marks in-between have often large track marks at each end, more than 11 inches high (292 × 292 mm,see Rakiura 321.jpg).
