Hi all
In this months Model Railroader starting page 82 is an artical on a
signal for protecting track crossing places.
It looks straight forward enough but rather anoyingly does not have a prototype drawing that can be re scaled or used to draw a larger scale drawing anyone know where I might get such a drawing??
regards John

I haven't seen the article, but if the drawing is to scale, you can use a photcopier to enlarge the drawing, I remember seeing somewhere what the ratio is, but you can experiment, or I can look for the article and get back to you.[8D]

Hi TJ
The problem is there is no drawing as such just the different bits
as the author built it and its confusing that way. but its a manual signal
so ideal for any one who like me who plans on a diamond or 90 degree
crossing and wants to be able to see it the bar is quite large in our sort of scale.
regards John
