Does anybody know who made this signal or where I can directions for wiring it?
Thanks, Chad

That looks like it might be a "WeHonest" signal from China, but can't really be sure just from photo.

Don't think We Honest made this because it's brass, not plastic which is usually how China made products are made.
A wild guess would be NJI. They made a good variety of high quality brass signals in multiple scales for years. These look very scale like. I have a few somewhere that have incandescent bulbs. I believe they were rated 12 to 14v. I remember running them with nine. They did offer their later production with LED’s. There should be visible resistors present if they are. You may have to just use a meter to figure out the wiring. Then use batteries or a good dc transformer to power them up and then mark the wires. Just start with a low voltage to be safe.
I’d search the big auction site or Trainz and see if they pop up or something similar. You can still find them even though they have been out of business for a while. Another source. www.azatrax.com . I bought some NJI crossbucks signals from them not that long ago. They do carry signals in multiple scales and still stock some NJI’s. Their main business is circuits to trigger them. You might find some info there.
My only other guess. Would be Terry Christopher. Custom Signals. He also sold high quality signals. I believe he retired a few years ago.
Thanks Dave for your suggestion. These have LED for lights, but I don't see a resistor unless they're inside the shaft. I applied 5V DC to a couple of them and they worked, but haven't tried more than that. I'll check out Aztrak, I have been using their relays for controlling block signals but haven't used any of their other products. Chad
