3 questions on the 3 color light signals
1 what are these signals made out of (brass, plastic etc)?
2. If you use them what do you think of them?
3. It`s hard to see the detail on the SB signals but do they have a ladder and work platform?
I like the fact that the SB has the detector & signal driver on one board.
Bob D As long as you surface as many times as you dive you`ll be alive to read these posts.
I suspect you are talking about the HC-1 Type D color light signal.
On the layout, they look good. If I had an unlimited budget, I would use the NJ Int Type D signal. As it is, at least I have a start on a good working ABS signal system. I have two of their detectors and will be installing 6 more after the 1st of the year. Being IR, they are not affected by room light like the Logic Rail detectors, and I had to do no 'detectable' wheel set conversion.

Just a slight correction, we offer IR and non-IR (i.e. photocell) versions of all of our products! The non-IR versions DO require sufficient overhead lighting to function properly. The IR versions, of course, do not.
