I have some HO scale block signals, built many years ago, that have relay cases at the base.  I would like to find more of the same type of relay case, but cannot find the manufacturer (or mfrs.).    Does anyone recognize either one of these?  Thanks.    (I've tried current searches of NJ, Details West, Detail Assoc, Tomar)

I'm also thinking of making castings, with these as protos, but only if the original mfrs are long gone.

Eureka

Eureka (I have found it).

While perusing the new products section of the latest MRHmag, I encountered these very relay cases.  They are now manufactured by Showcase Miniatures.  ( showcaseminiatures.com ).  I placed an order, and also sent them a note recommending that they advertise in MRH.  It sure would have saved me a lot of searching.

Go get 'em, Les!

Thumbs up...

The showcase miniature/century foundary details look fantastic. I got to also see their n-scale versions first hand at wpm this year. Very nice detail! Coincidently I asked them about the searchlight signal kit that century had in their line. They said they will be rereleasing them soon. The kit would be great with the BLMA searchlight head. Anyway...you won't be dissapointed when you get these cases. ChrisP

A Short History of Showcase and Century Foundary

The cast items in this collection are built to the Espee CS standards.  So they should look outstanding.
