Signal Question
Wed, 2015-05-20 07:09 — trainmaster247
I have the Bachmann double track signal bridge kit from an old set. It does not fit over the width of my double track and I was looking for suggestions. I have two ideas.
The first one being: Cut off both "legs" and mount the leg in the center instead of the edges. (not sure if this is prototypical)
The second one being: Cut off one leg but not have it centered over each track, (also not sure if this is prototypical)

That's what I would do also. Find another bridge, even if it's already put together, and splice them together.
