My hidden storage yard will use track occupancy circuits at the end of each stub track to tell the engineer when to stop backing the train. Each of those circuits will light a lamp in certain rooms around the layout. Most of those circuits will terminate in a dumpy hotel building just above the storage yard and next to the mainline.

In looking at the available real estate for the hotel, I came to the sudden realization that I would have to move a signal. The building will actually be a deep backdrop (6" deep at the building front and 4" deep at the rear of the building). To accomodate the hotel, the signal would have to move to the backyard of the building.

Yesterday, I moved the signal. This involved putting a new "floor" in place in the triangular space selected for the signal, relocating a terminal strip, and reattaching the wires. It was a tight fit, but I can see real potential for this dumpy hotel with the signal in back.

The only trouble is that my imagination far outpaces my available time.
