B&O Platform Signals

OK Mark,
You bugged me enough and I built and tested them. Each kit will build one 2-Track signal and also contains Lunars and Interlockers for MANY configurations. They will start shipping when I get back from Springfield.

$17.95 John. The poles are the smallest (.061) you could get all the wires you would need for the CPL's, Lunars and Interlockers. Actual scale poles would be .051, so I felt it was better to go with the .061 to be able to light them up.

it's not a complete CPL :(

it's missing the final pair to be able to have a permissive (290) aspect.

John's right... those upper masts are way too fat.

But I see what you mean... you have jam every wire in there to make them work...  Eep!  N Scale ain't for amateurs, that's for sure!

I could go to .046 tubing with a .007 wall, but that would increase the costs. Hypo tubing is not cheap.

I hope you will consider selling the platforms without the upper extensions and targets as some other roads used similar platforms with different targets.

Or could you put the thinner tubing above the main signal head?  The lunar would only need one wire...
