Which vendor can I purchase a bulk of amber 3V LEDs. I Googled this before but I only saw yellow and orange and wasn't sure if they will look like the real amber PRR colors.
Miniatronics makes 2mm tower LEDs that are amber...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
The P company used a white incandescent light. A golden white LED would look better then an amber LED. You need to read this before you build your signals. http://mysite.du.edu/~jcalvert/railway/prr/prrsig.htm After the semaphores you will find everything you need to know about the position light signals. Some interlocking sections had a red lens in the center and some even had the horizontal lenses red also. White lights could be seen farther away in bad weather than the amber. The road did some extensive testing before they went system wide.

What's Peco have to do with this?
(for the uninformed - Peco is Pritchard Patent Product Company - the P Co, ie Peco.)

Good one Randy
I have not used that term in a looonnng time. According to most railroad workers there were 3 ways of doing things. The right way, The wrong way, and the P way. At one time they had more people on the payroll than the Federal Government.
Thanks for your information.
