@PRRMiddleDivision posted:A few weeks ago, I posted photos of my model of the Pennsylvania Glass Sand plant and said it was finished. Well, not quite. I was waiting for some electrical components to show up so I could finish the job, so I moved on to another part of the layout and then held off on the electrical work for a few weeks. I finally went back and got that work done. It included building a flashing highway sign as per the prototype and installing structure lighting.
First, here is a photo of the flashing ‘Truck Crossing” sign. I probably spent a good 6 to 8 hours building and installing the darn thing! I could not locate my ancient Dallee grade crossing flashers (over 30 years old as I recall!) so I ordered a new one. There is a photo of it after installation and it is used to flash the lights. Then there are some videos of the sign in service. This sign is prototypical, and there are two of them on Route 655 by the plant:
Neal,
Great job on these. I could easily see myself riding along a curve in the road and seeing this type of sign in the real world. Is "flasher" the name of the item I would look for from Dallee if I was get one? Do you have a part number?
Thanks,
Dave
