I want to make my own single, double, triple signals but could not find many pictures online.
Does anybody have some pictures from every possible angle of the different types?
Thanks

Thom After using your pictures for measurement I finished my first target signal. I used BLMA a photo etched signal head sheet #1000. I only used the face disk and the "hood", which I shorten so it is flat at the back of the face. After I soldered 33AWG colored magnet wires to a green/red(/blue) SMD LED, I glued the LED onto the back of the face. Unfortunately there are no green/red/yellow SMD LED since the SMDs are the once used for the flat screen TVs. The pole is made of hypodermic needle tubing (Hypo Tube S/S 304 thin and extra thin walls) from smallparts.com. The magnet wires run inside the tubing. The base of the pole is made of two different size of tubing glued into each other and then filed in an angle plus a piece of styrene. I used CA which also nicely fills the gaps between the different sizes of tubing. The ladder is actually a photo etched K+S square mesh for bigger scale models which has about the right size for N-scale. N-scale square mesh is used to attach the ladder to the pole.  Next I think I try the single target signal in both directions as seen in your first picture. Do you know if that signal protects one track in both directions? In your picture it is hard to tell if the other track to the right have additional signals. Thanks again. |

Yep thats a bi-directional signal. The track to the right is a siding that from time to time was used to store power. The tracks at the left are the main tracks. This is at the top (west) end of Mojave yard.
Those are awesome signals!! You did a good job!
