Model Railroad 3 Color Spotlight Block Signal For HO And OO Scales

Model Railroad 3 Color Spotlight Block Signal For HO And OO Scales

A scale model spotlight block signal for model railroads. This ready-to-install signal features green, yellow, and red LEDs, a common cathode, a 1000-ohm resistor, a brass mast, and a plastic face. It’s designed for HO and OO scales and can be controlled using various systems, including the Arduino Signal Driver and the Free Standing Signal Driver. It’s independent of your track powering system, so it can be used on both DC and DCC layouts.

Control Systems

Block signal lights can be controlled using various systems. There are two systems that we use.  They  are independent of your track powering system.  So they can be used on DC and DCC layouts

Arduino Signal Driver

A signal driver designed for continuous and point to point operations. A video demonstration and description is located here.

Free Standing  Signal Driver

This is a versatile system that can be used for different light and track arrangements.  A video demonstration and description is located here.
