Signals controlling bridge tracks.

Following Don Winslow, Sitka, Dallas Joseph,pennsyfan and WP...here is a semaphore dual signal from Hornby (UK) dating to the early 50's.  Manual operation only.

Happy Tuesday fellow "Chain Gang" members

@pennsyfan- Hey Bob!  Great looking signals.  Don't know if you are aware, but the "girder type" support post signals pre-war with the Hornby signals, my solid post is post war.  Love your layout and from the trains along the wall I can see we share some common collector interests (I see a Unique Lines freight and some Lionel pre-war passenger cars).

Best Wishes

Thanks Don, yes and they came with excellent boxes! That’s a Haftner freight set. There is also a UTTC articulated subway set on that shelf.

Happy Wednesday!!

Don

I'll see your observation car and raise you one.

@Randy Harrison - Well I can't raise you to 3 , not enough tracks.  However, that is a great scene Randy.  The clock in the center really makes it!

Don

Back to one observation car.

Man on sawmill.

From pennsyfan...not exactly a match for the "wood workers"  but how about workers at a place that makes things out of wood? General Door and Sash...

Best wishes

@Don McErlean

Don, does that lunch wagon guy know that the 3:15 is on track and on time? 😱

Keeping with the " wood " theme .   Discarded ties.

@pennsyfan- Re your comment on my post...Yup the fellow in that truck is counting on the workers being "REALLY" hungry and wanting their sandwiches ...FAST!!  Thanks for the comment Bob, made me laugh!

from Sitka..."lots of stuff"!  Town scene with stores, shopping, cars, people etc.  Sitka I don't know what you bought with your "paper route" money but I admire your entrepreneurship.  I never had a paper route, got my start cutting grass and shoveling snow (in N.J.).  Wish I had invested in Lionel but I had replaced my 1940's Lionel with HO by 1955...still have that but its not worth anywhere near what my original 1946 Lionel would be today.

Best wishes everyone, hope your weekend goes well.  Watch out for the HEAT, will be 108 here in central Texas today.

OK - so this is a stretch, but from Bob's impressive charts, diagrammatic rail routes...

Following Don W’s control board

My control board.
. Engineer control handles that I acquired from a retired engineer. There are two vintages there.

Well I don't have any control panels worth seeing, but I will jump back to @Don Winslow for a pair of B&O RDC's.

This is an odd pair, the rear one # 2559 is a true classic Lionel postwar from 1957-58 and is unpowered.  It was a gift from my brother from his boyhood trains where he used it (imagination reigns) as a dinning car on his passenger train.  The forward one which I purchased to give the pair motive power is Lionel (MPC) #8764 B&O powered RDC from 1977.  Except for the number I could find no difference between the MPC version and the post war version.

Best Regards

Don
