N&W Block Signals

I checked out the custom signals website and still don't see the proper equipment for the N&W on there. The PL1 and PL3 signals are represented, but not N&W's PL2's. They are easily distinguished by the length of the hoods and the type lenses they used. The light boxes are also slightly shorter in length.

I'm thinking I may just have to come up with a new way to make my own from scratch.

Hi Stephen,

That is a great scene on your layout. I was going to attempt the LED idea, but if Atlas does it, I think it will be worth the price!

You can have signals custom made or wait for the Atlas PRR/N&W signals comming in O and HO scales. The attached photo are signals I have made ten years ago [not the best shot]. The Atlas signals will not have the Oregon backing, but will be like the N&W boxes on back by using small computer LEDS. Also here is a web site for O scale signals which Atlas is working with. http://www.customsignals.com/

Basically what I'm discovering is there's no company in existence that makes an accurate N&W Position Light or Color Position block signal. The closest I've found is Integrated Signal System and Oregon Rail Supply. However, they have Pennsylvania signals that would require modifications. If you get the B&O Color Position Signals, they would also require extensive modifications.



So, if I want some on my layout, I'll have to fabricate my own.

Ben,

You may be interested in reading the three part series on PRR signals in The Keystone Modeler. Might pick up some good tips.
