Lionel 440 signal bridge (diaphram assembley)
Posted by OhioZephyr on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 6:10 PM

I'm in the process of restoring a Lionel 440 bridge.  I have the replacement light housing, but i know there is a diaphram inside that divides the 4 lights.  I actually ahve a diagram that I obtained from Olsen's Trains in Lakewood, OH, but I cannot figure out what it suppose to look like.  Does anyone have a picture of what the inside looks like?

Thanks

I'm hoping that someone will have a picture.  Thanks for the feedback.  I figured it was going to be a tough nut to crack.

Zephyr, try posting your question here: http://ogaugerr.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/1211056622. I can almost guarantee that someone there will have the info you need. Wink

I have a spare light head. Ill crack her open and snap a picture tom. I think there is only one way it works?
If you are looking for a rare train, ask i might surprise you with an asking price!!! A guy asked if i liked fast track, and i replied i used t-rail. He said eww that old stuff you bolt together???? Ignorance must be bliss!

That would be great. I have a diagram of what it should look like unfolded.  I would appreciate the picture.

Best regards,
