[Craig Martyn]

New information and an all-new HD video has been posted in regards to our upcoming HO & N Scale H-2 Searchlight Signals.

Due in late 2009, our new H-2 Signals are the first to feature accurate scale dimensions, detailing, and a TRI-COLOR LED in each head - true color in Green, Yellow, and Red.

Thanks for the support everyone!

Did this design go back to the 1950's?

The signals look great.

Boy, does this fill a huge void in the hobby! Those are going to be great!

Heads definitely yes.  Though the dual head signal style might be more modern, or just a railroad specific option, all I know is granger roads.  For our Milwaukee Rd 50's/60's era layout we'll use the single head signals, and separate heads.  The spacing is too far apart for our prototype on the announced version of a dual head signal, but with separate heads being available we can mount two or three to our own posts to compensate.  Should be a winner!

I'm hoping that the 3-light heads I need are available from Craig by the time I figure out what to do with them...  (I've got one NJ international, but it's not plugged in to anything...)

This design dates back all the way to the 1930's...Both the H-2 Head AND the two signals we're doing first.  Other styles, including three head models, to follow.

Sounds like I may need the separate heads as well. Erie had 2 head signals, but each head was offset to the opposite side of the pole.
Here is a single head signal on the old Eire mainline:

It is 64 miles from Cleveland on the first subdivision.

Bummer - yet another signal the KCS doesn't have in my geographic area.   :'(

Craig, I'm still in for the hooded 3 light in nscale . . . . and the signal bridge version as well . . . .

I was able to see the demo model at the NMRA show, in Hartford.  The detail is amazing on the signals.  I was also impressed by the color rendition on the tri-color LED's.

The Housatonic does not have any signals, otherwise I'd be all over these!
