Martyboy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi, I am looking to mount some 3 aspect colour light signals on a gantry. Does anyone know of a gantry kit, plan or rtr model supplier? 0 gauge Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kspoons Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 i got some kits from 7mm and built the heads and made my own gantry. if you look in various books you will see that gantries are not of a standard design for colour light signalling so you have a certain license in building your own. spoons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to span several tracks so the single post type won't do, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kspoons Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 give it ago - if i get a chance i will put a photo up. the fun is in wiring it all and keeping the wires hidden. get yourself supplies of the ultra thin wire - i got mine from express lighting. i use an let module to control everything from my ECoS system and it all works fine. spoons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyboy Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have built myself a gantry. My first real scratch build. I have just sprayed it with grey primer and it looks OK. What colour should it be? I have seen some painted silver but they don't look right to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyboy Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thank you everyone for all your help and encouragement. I have now made 4. I have tried to upload a picture but no matter what format it is too big. I spray painted them with aluminium paint then a coat of mat lacquer. They looks very good but brand new, a little weathering and they should be fab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
