I have adjustable boards with 555 timers that I built back in the day. My time to put them back in operation is not worth the effort. For 18 bucks,  I'll just go with Evans. https://evandesigns.com/produc...amp;_ss=e&_v=1.0

Built in micro circuits don't take up any room either. No need to work under a layout anymore.

I'm sure these would look cool as non switching as well. Thanks for the input.

Any photos of these on city streets?

check out evenmodel on the bay.  He has 1/43 scale lights and timers.

i bought a set of 4 from Evemodel and hooked them up to an MTH traffic light controller.

They operate through their sequence fine although one has a dead red LED. I had to put a resistor in line with the LED commons as the voltage from the MTH controller was higher than 3 V. The green LED is way brighter than the red or yellow.

Honestly can't say I think much of the traffic lights from Woodland Scenics.  In fact, I don't like the "Just Plug" system.  I think it's cheaply made and way over-priced.  And since the traffic lights don't change signals, what's the point?

If you aren't into rolling your own traffic lights and circuits, you might look at Greg Leonard's work.  He's made a number of custom traffic signals for me that work nicely and are beautiful.  To replicate the intersection of Main Street, County Road, and Pennsylvania Avenue in Weirton (odd-shaped), he built this set of suspended lights (just like the prototype).

I don't know if his website is active, but you can contact him at:  gacji@zoominternet.net

I think he does great work.
