Today I shaped the semaphore blades. I got the dimensions from an RMC article from 1/08 page #60. I reduced them down to HO scale on a copper and used it as a template to cut them from some brass. This was not an easy task , I could not imagine doing this in N scale. I drilled the holes for the pivot and the rod that will operate the signal. I also punched some rivets in the arms. I'll drill the hole for the light later when I have a better idea of it's placement.
