UP SD40-2's NEW Layout

...I was going to change it up was to be able to put a set of wig wags up that I so fondly remember growing up with. I grew up 3 blocks from CNW's main line that went through town, and at that crossing was a set of wig wags almost exactly like these:  https://youtu.be/Wp78h72We3E?list=WL  I am going to have to scratch build them, but I think I have the materials to do it. I have been wanting to do this for years, and I think its about time I get to it.

Deano, American Limited offers a nicely-detailed kit for two wig-wag crossing signals.  While they're non-powered, you can build them so the signals can be moveable, and posed as if they were swinging when the photo is taken....

This older photo doesn't show them all that well....



...but here's a couple taken just a few minutes ago...





I'm not really interested in working ones, but perhaps there's a how-to somewhere out there on the ol' interweb.
