Bing Pedestrian Crossing

that is nice. got any pics of the Marx stuff?

Dave

I did not take pictures of the Marx bridges. They are just run of the mill 1305 girder bridges. Two red Illinois Central, a blue PRR, a black PRR and a black NYC. The red & blue were really nice. Posted a photo below of one of mine.

Steve

hmmm...Pennsy......

Steve, you're being modest.  I think I recall seeing photos of your rather extensive collection of Marx 1305's; pretty much every color and herald combination, and in very nice shape!  Makes a very nice shelf display with the bridges filled with trains!

like to see that!

Dave

The 1305 bridges span a shelf of std gauge on my wall of Hafner. I have enough bridge variations for at least one more row  but do not want to take down any Hafner. Too much Hafner not out as it is.

Steve

very nice Steve. I need to grab on or three PRR or NYC brides.

Hi Steve

Here is a photo of my Bing pedestrian bridge with two semaphore signals.

Lew Schneider 

thank you Steve!  I see your point: the standard gauge displays nicely, the bridge girders would conceal the O Gauge.

Lew, thanks for posting.  mine has the single socket like Steve's, it's interesting to see the double version.  Looks overall bigger, like it might accomodate Gauge 1?

The French catalogue with the dual semaphore shows a continental signal, whereas

mine contains signals for the British market.

Lew

For those wanting to know more about British signals, the blades with square ends are Home signals, and those with "fishtail" ends are Distant signals.  Hornby used both on

its various signals.  My photo shows the rear of a Hornby signal --Home blade on top

and Distant on the bottom. (Signal is to the right of the magnetic crane.)I'm also including a photo of the Hornby #1 signal gantry with both blades.

Lew Schneider

Thanks for all the input. Now to find a semaphore that will at least look correct on it.

Steve
