One of the signal heads is acting up.  When it is red, everything is fine.  When it is green, the yellow light also lights.  This is part of the cycle for this item, yellow for about 10 seconds before turning green.  I have swapped the head to the other location on the signal and to another signal elsewhere, the problem is isolated to this signal head.

Is this something that can be fixed?  If so, what do I look for.  Otherwise buying another pair is a good excuse to visit the hobbyshop.

Years ago, member fec fan posted this schematic of some MTH signal heads which probably represents what's in the 30-11009.

If this is meaningless to you, maybe you have a buddy handy with a meter and soldering iron that can help you out on a rainy day.  For example, IF the green LED dims slightly when the yellow LED is also on, I can see a failure mode where the IC chip (555 SMD on schematic) has a defective "high" output.  The chip itself is only 10 cents or so but a nuisance to replace since it tiny.
