This kit comes with all components needed to assemble the model. The kit contents are as follows:
Lighted Double-Sided Signal
Brass Mast
Telephone Box
“Landscape” Letter Boards
“Portrait” Letter Boards
560 ohm resistors
Mast Base (Round Mast Variant Only)
Signal Connector (Square Post Variant Only)
These signals come with a latex masking pre-applied over each lens. This mask protects the lens from paint and weathering materials, making it extremely simple to paint and weather the model out of the package! Once painting is complete, simply remove the mask with a pair of fine tweezers, leaving the pristine lenses underneath.
This model comes pre-wired, so there is no need to fight with small LEDs! Each model uses 38 gauge wires to power the LEDs. All LEDs share a common positive anode, while separate cathodes are provided for the red and yellow LEDs. The wires are approximately 24" long, pre-tinned and ready for installation.
This model uses 2 volt LEDs rated at 20 mA. To power the signal between 3 and 12 volts DC, the included 560 ohm resistors must be connected at the cathode connections.
We have replicated a great many permutations and variations of these Position Light signals for the N&W, PRR, LIRR, Penn Central, Conrail, and Amtrak. That being said, if there is a specific configuration you need that is not in our catalog, please contact us. We will be pleased to help develop a signal to meet your specific needs!
