Mar-07-02, 08:04 PM (EST) "We need lights........." Flashing RR Xing lights, yellow caution lights hanging in the middle of the town's one big intersection, OPERATING traffic signals (for automobiles)......... I haven't seen them and wonder if its possible to modify a yellow flashing route block signal head - create a four-way flasher shape out of it and hang it on wires over the street without screwing up the whole railroad? ... or build a "wagon" configured like a RR Xing and have alternating flashing (eg. FRED) lights that way. Set the signal-shaped wagon onto a piece of buried track, perhaps.Lots of small towns with mainline running down the middle, and at night there's always that one blinking caution light - and the RR crossing ... and maybe the BBQ joint with a flashing "All you can eat RIBS!!" sign . The caution light is a big hit on HO layouts - and then there's Christmas lights (I feel an MSTS crash coming on).......Any ideas? (I've got Trouble's traffic signals already)Mark

I am very interested in placing your crossing signals on the routes I am currently designing for VBNSF. You have done a spectacular job on all of your work and I am looking very forward to running on your CSX A-Line!Thanks a lot!!Austin S.

I am working (slowly) to build a route and will learn to create objects along the way - I look forward to creating even things that do NOT move - and one day will try my hand at animation.Thanks againMark (Blum)
