Off my Workbench

Some folks may have seen several episodes describing this under construction on the workbench thread in the 2mm forums. Last night it was planted on the layout and given a quick test.

 

All seems to be working OK.

Which frees up my signal building board for the next one... plenty more to do!

 

We also have some new buildings... must try to get my camera and the buildings to be in the same place at the same time.

Its amazing what a difference the signals make to the look and feel of the scene. Looking forward to you getting the camera out to record more of the new work.

Absolutely. Having seen so many stations in the West Country turned into rather barren looking wastelands by the removal of their semaphores it is nice to be moving things in the opposite direction... even if only in model form.

Looks great Andy! I was thinking of having non operational ones on my layout of Par but you have shown here that a superb semaphore signal can be produced and fully operational. When the time comes, think I'll have a bash at building some operational ones.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Definitely worth doing. Making the arms move is not as difficult as you might think... although arranging the drive can be more err... challenging.

 

If you want to make life easier for yourself then go for dummy signal lamps.
