<div>I’ve built several PL signals using D5DEM Modelsmiths heads. The heads come completely assembled with LEDS and all have worked well. Working with the very thin magnet wire does take some patience. For the signal mast, Showcase Miniatures has some nice etched signal details. (Showcase also makes CPL signal kits but they are B&O prototypes.)</div>

<div>Hi,
<div><br>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Learning signals and then how to build CTC on top of the automatic signals was good fun.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>Andre, All,
<div>I have been working with vendors for over ten years now to get really accurate N&W signals and can report some progress. I have a source for both old and new style dwarf PLs with CPLs hopefully coming soon. A 3D printer has exquisite two-signal masts that were found throughout the N&W and they will be offering them through the commissary. At least two vendors offer single signals (think intermediates) that are very good representations. The current biggest hurdles, as I see it, are arm(head) fidelity and wire management. Several vendors offer targets with LEDs with varying degrees of accuracy and with the most accurate,, routing the conductors can be problematic.</div>
<div>Let me know what you want and I will see about making it available.</div>

<div>Hi all,
<div>I’m seeing some new, 3-D printed position light signals being offered on places like eBay. With Oregon Rail Supply apparently defunct, they are needed.</div>
<div>Anybody have any experience with the new offerings?</div>
<div>Insights welcomed.</div>
<div>Thanks,<br><br>Andre Jackson<br>
