NJ international scale PRR signals

Just wanting to see if any one has any of the NJI PRR signals (the ones that are to N scale size) I'm thinking about getting a couple and just wanted to see your opinion on the quality of them and maybe post some pics if you have any.
Thanks

Had to do some looking to find this release since it is not on their N-scale page as of yet.  They are shown on their New Item page...

It looks good and judging from their other EXACT N Scale signals the #2045 signal likely would be very good to use.  I had forgotten that they were coming out with them... looks like I will be going in pursuit of some of these as well since my freelanced line will be using this type of signal.  Beware of the #2040 and #2041 signals... these are somewhere between TT and HO scale... way oversized for N.

I would hope that they will follow it with an absolute stop configuration but that will depend a lot on just how well they sell.

As I've said in a couple of other places, I saw these at the NTS and wasn't very impressed.  The tooling seems to be somewhat bulky or thick.  I found the overall quality to be comparable to the WS built-ups.  If you really think you're interested, I'd recommend just getting one and evaluate it for yourself to see if the quality is acceptable to you.  Hopefully I just saw a pre-production model and the actual products will be a little nicer (but based on the photos on their site, I doubt it).
