Pennsy Position light signals

[Ian MacMillan]

I held it at Springfield..and it was epic. Kinda made it suck I'm not modeling the slope any more but...alas I think there is some other things coming I may be able to use

worthless without pictures or better yet .. video of it operating

Are these all pre-assembled, wired with resistors?  I have the Alkem ones, but never installed them because I burned one out trying to figure out all the wires.

If pre-wired with resistors I'll be in for 4 or 5.

Bob:
More accurately, what's the expected drive voltage for the assembled heads? 12v directly, or will we need to provide the aforementioned dropping resistors?

I just looked at your website, saw your PRR-style substation kit, and started cackling like a madman. Have you set a price point for those yet? I need at least two of them. Yeah. I can see now that several of my paychecks will be going directly to you. Between the signals, the heavy bridges, the transmission line towers, the PRR railings, etc....

I'll have a photo of the "AC MOTOR STOP" sign to post tomorrow, as it's over at the CV right now.

Oh boy, you do brass bridge kits as well. Cue me wanting to model the skewed 4-track bridge over the intersection of Chester Pike and South Ave in Glenolden/Norwood area (E3 and Sean both know this spot).

John - Three pics are on page 1. What other pics would you like to see?  I'll see what I can do about a video.

Dave - Fully assembled, prewired, only 5 wires; common +V (different color wire), center and three aspect positions. I made the center separate so it could be turned off to do the absolute block with red "snake eyes" too. Resistors included, but not needed if doing DCC signaling.

Hiroe - $89.95 with the brass, 2x transformers, insulators and all of the connection wires. I was also thinking of offering a complete package kit that also included the chain link fencing, fence gates and construction trailer.

Mark - Sold out of the first batch of B&O. More coming in this week.

[Dave V]

Thanks, Bob.  Is there a specific DCC signaling system (like Digitrax) you're targeting?  I've been using optical sensors on a DC circuit.

So these will be wired common-anode? Interesting. Any specific reason?

Substations: Excellent. I'll have to see what the scene requires when I get to building those modules.

Easier to Sink current than Source current. NCE, Lenz and Digi-Traks all have the capability of common anode or common cathode. Besides, the new 0603 color corrected tri-colors I am real hot after are common anode so it makes sense to keep things standard.

[Sokramiketes]

Common-anode is standard, including the prototype.  I think the only MR system that is common cathode is the Atlas system, which makes it difficult to use their components outside the Atlas system.  I think it's one of the reasons their signals don't sell. 

[Hiroe]

Yeah, the Atlas system is common cathode. I've actually got my own design of logic boards that can drive either type of signals; so I can use them with no problem.

[unittrain]

I was just wanting to see if there were any new pictures of these signal modules installed in the signals. I cant wait to get these! . These will be  a much needed N scale item.

[TrainCat2]

Still in tooling right now.

[Dave V]

Bob, how are the Pennsy PLs going?

[kelticsylk]

Very cool.
