I'm on this site:

Where do I find Circuit Board kit No.#538-144 for the PRR 4 track signal bridge.

This what you looking for? http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/538-144

 NJ international has better looking signals if you ask me. http://www.njinternational.com/hoscale.htm

 If you wait till June they will come out with the lower head with clipped sides like the Oregon signals.

Looking at that website's catalog convention, I think you're looking for an ORE144: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/ore/ore144.htm

Thanks allot for the link. However I don't think they have a 4 track signal bridge.

If you contact them they can give you a price quote for just the heads and mast that you can put on the Oregon bridge.

I built the two-track version some time back:

This is an under-construction picture.  The catwalk is only loosely in place, so it bows up at the ends.  I used a strip of real wood for the top of the walk rather than trying to make the plastic look like wood.  These are the targets that came with this kit.  In addition, there are two single-light targets I ended up not using.  Here, I've got two 3-light targets on the facing side, and two 2-light targets on the opposite side.

I used Miniatronics red, yellow and green (individual colors) LEDs.  They are all wired through the auxiliary connections on Tortoise machines to provide turnout-position indication.

This is the same bridge without the catwalk:

Here, you can see some of the wiring.  This is the big difficulty with this kit.  I put 10 LEDs in here.  I designed the circuit so there were only 4 wires going down from the bridge to below the layout, so there are a lot of short inter-connections between the series-wired LEDs.  I used magnet wire (available at Radio $hack) for the bridge wiring, because it's very thin.  I used thin shrink tubing and paint-on rubbery insulation, and painted all the wires flat black.

I appreciate you sharing this. Thanks

Not a bad looking signal bridge.
