Installing a BLMA Searchlight Signal
Tue, 2014-04-29 22:50 — stevelton
If you follow what little blogging on here I try to do, then you will already know that I was given (happily) the daunting task of converting a large HO scale layout from ABS signaling to a very prototypical CTC system, which I was allowed to model after UP's CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch). While the way the system operates is very close to today's Union Pacific, the hardware on the layout had to at least give a feel for the Santa Fe, which is what the layout owner models. Good enough for me, just means I get to play with that many more types of signals.

Printed Circuit Board turnout

Since TT scale is the "orphan scale" out there getting North American type track is next to impossible. You basically have to scratcbuild almost everything. The guys on the TTnut forum were discussing which number turnout they would like to have manufactured. This got me to thinking. Since it's pretty expensive to have a injection mold produced for tracks why not start with something from way back when.
Anybody recognize these oldies?
