Wanted to get on here and check out things. Started by looking at signaling aspects since I picked up some searchlights that were on the frisco line in Missouri when they were all changed out with newer signaling. Currently working on getting a dual set put back on a mast in the yard and wired into a controller. Have a 3rd setup as a dwarf and it is already wired into a controller and operational on all three aspects timed. The mast mounted ones im excited about getting working since the bottom has a hard to find lunar in with the mechanism. Waiting on hardware to arrive so I can get the bottom mounted
I have finally got everything mounted and both heads controlled by a single Arduino and a couple of relay boards. As of right now, it cycles from red/red green/red red/red red/green red/red red/lunar red/red amber/green Going by the signal rules book posted here, it seems those are valid signal combos the Frisco used. I do not have any flasher relays so I can not do that option. And I believe I have a new addiction on collecting signals now much to the enjoyment of my wife
Finally got them done. I didnt have a mast mount so I had to "improvise". They arent going anywhere by the time I got done. The dwarf one is actually has a mast mount, but I took a long bolt that I sat in the concrete that I mounted it to. That one I removed the outer glass magnifying lens and replaced it with a lexan lens that came from a dwarf, probably a GRS. These are all US&S signals. The top one is dim because I was trying out different lenses . I ended up going back to stock lenses they were shipped with, so its as bright as the bottom one. That is a lunar in the first picture
