These use the standard (R.S.A.) US&S Co. type.<br /><br /><br />Although T.J. Wegmann assembled these "N&G Railway Signal Company" "Style 'B'" products, they're not his creation.<br /><br />Also, these were always lit from when they were first created some forty years ago (1980). They were designed to use the then smallest pigtail lead incandescent bulb then available. <br /><br />That said, instead of scale and optically "plain" colored roundels, Terry's own injection molded lenses do not prototypically light nor look correct when unlit. The lens should actually be in the lamp housing itself as was in this product's original design and production, just as found with the original semaphore signals themselves.Paddy Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503037225340534551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622047938401309680.post-35527467551785393892017-02-13T17:30:41.129-05:002017-02-13T17:30:41.129-05:00I never tire of seeing Jim's layout and your p...I never tire of seeing Jim's layout and your photos (in this post as well as your previous post) really capture it. Exceptional photos of exceptional modeling - thank for taking the time to share them and enjoy your trip out west!Chris Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052818057825432279noreply@blogger.com
