I am just absolutely flabbergasted! I just had to share this. Today my model railroad train signals arrived. These come in multiple sizes for multiple gauges. These particular ones are for O scale. Each signal has four wires.
The black is the common and the red yellow and green are for each individual light. This light is known as part number JTD433GYR. It may be found on eBay. I was really hesitant to buy the signals figuring they were just cheap garbage.
These two signals sell for $16.99. For that price you get for signals! That is about $4.25 for one train signal less shipping. Unbelievable!
I will be doing a review when I actually get these wired up. Yes, you do have to purchase some kind of an activator or electrical switch to get them to function. I want mine to function only manually. I want to be able to control them myself from one centralized location and act as a dispatcher. I purchased 3 position mini toggle switches to do this. More on this later.
These signals and the mini toggle switch to control each one cost me approximately between 8 and $9. That is one heck of a lot cheaper than anything else out there by a long shot. Now to see how they actually work.
In fact, when I do the review and show how these work I will post a video.
