Train Cat UP Cantilever Signal Bridge on Nate Goodman's Layout

[Nato]

  Photos of a completed Train Cat Union Pacific Cantilever signal bridge installed on my layout. This much modified kit was built for me by Bob Gilmore. He had to use a bending tool to bend the kit parts,there is much added detail railings and ladder, wood top platform detailed, he had to fabricate the signal heads which have MV Lenses installed. Now I hope I can link directly to the photo instead of just showing the data link. Well ! Here goes   Nate Goodman (Nato).Salt Lake, Utah.

Oh, and the signals and the rest of the scene looks fabulous.

Looks great.  Are they operational?

The signals look great. I like how you installed them too. Whose heads did you use?

[Nato]

  Thanks for all the Paste and Copy information ,everyone. As I noted in my first post, the kit as it comes is not easy to build without tools like a bending tool, which Bob Gilmore who built the kit for me used to bend kit pieces. The signal is non operational,MV Lenses are used, the red in the photo is reflection from the lens.The heads were made from scratch by Bob as well as the attachment hardware. None of this comes with the kit. Protype photos were studied to determine where the lower head should be attached and its angle towards the track. This varied by location on the railroad,also snow shields over heads at some locals. The bridges and heads were originally painted black,but by the late 1950's 1960's to present era I'am modeling bridges have been painted silver with black heads. Nate Goodman (Nato).

When you say "Admin says" you actually have to follow the instructions that I have provided the last time this was asked...

Nate, your screen should look exactly how mine is set up on the right.


You have to click like Jason also said.

Click the image you want in Picasa
Select the size you want.
Select "IMAGE ONLY NO LINK"
Copy the text in Embed Image
Paste in the forum post, using the IMG tags

So should look like this

Code: [Select]

 Ok! For all you UP Rivet Couters out there, Union Pacific's passenger F-3 diesels had two headlights on the nose. Kato's early model which had only one and no steam generators on B units, I had to add this, but did have the 1948 passenger numbers is what is pictured. I have not got around to adding the second correct headlight. Nate Goodman (Nato).

Nate - what did you use to make those telephone poles please...

[chuck geiger]

Tiny - Looks like tapered skewers or dowels for the two posts and
cross arms from Atlas or other brand poles with plastic styrene
bracing. Let's see if I win a trip to Utah?
