N&W PL to CPL conversions

[NW Mailing List]

I see the logic now about leaving the lowers yellow but the red center.
That clues me better how to create my signaling.

BUT, I'm not doing the CPL's, doing the position lights only. 1950's 
just before I presume they started switching over.

As far as referencing the Pennsy heads, its simply buying the model 
version  for N&W/Pennsy
for the head type, not interpreting the signal indications.
For the virtical and horizontal and angled only signals I'll be chopping 
them heads around.
