Ideas for hanging signs

Great idea - we have a local suspended ceiling company.

Galvanised iron wire. Easy to bend strong enough for what you want I'd suggest but you would need some kind of long pole to get the ends over the girders.

Not knowing how high the girders actually, could not comment on the health and safety aspect but surely if its lower than a domestic ladder that people can buy and use, then it ought to be safe if a person was on station at the bottom and a simple system of hooking over the girder was fashioned to stop sideways slip.

I don't know how high you intend to have the signs but if they are within the range of prats jumping to swing from them then I suppose you need to have regard to the failure mode. While one might hope that such prats would be held to deserve all they get - up to and including magnets landing on their heads from a great height - I fear the legal system would not agree.

That may be one advantage of nylon fishing line over the girders - assuming suitable H&S procedures in place before bolts are fired :)

They do tend to swing laterally in the breeze although for a museum full of beam engines that might be quite fitting.

Upto the OP how many wires/strings they use.

Do you know anyone in Am Dram with a tallescope and the requisite permits?
