HO scale position light signals Q

[NW Modeling List]

Hi,

My small layout is signaled. What I've found is that we have a real lack of
bracketed posts and signal bridges. For any model railroad example I could
build, we need the posts to hold both masts.

ISS made my bracketed posts and dual head masts on my layout. I'm not clear
on the long term viability of ISS. I think it's just one guy.

Learning signals and then how to build CTC on top of the automatic signals
was good fun.

I'd also love to see the colorized train order lights and the train order
boards (especially the wood post ones). I'm looking at a pile of sticks and
Midwest parts, that are an attempt to kit bash something. It's a
motivational issue lol.

You might be able to give the sign decals in the commissary to
ScaleSigns.com.  there are also a few station area signs like Southern
Express or Telegraph they could make. I got a few of their normal road
signs and they are a game changer for realism.
