I wanted to build A 2 hole out house as described on page 63 of Carstens "loco terminals & R.R. structures" but The kitbash is taking twice as long to complete as I expected. So, I will build something a little simpler.... A pair of HO scale operating train order signals.
they will be of the semaphore type with lighted aspects.
So here is the start.
I'll start with the masts. I used some K&S engineering 1/16 and 3/32 brass tubing that I cut to 22 foot & 10 foot pieces. I chose these sizes because they fit inside each other tightly, and they looked like the right diameter for a scale mast. I slid them together added some flux and soldered the up.
More to come later.
