Looking for Tell-Tales

I searched the DLS for telltale, telltail, tell-tale, tell-tail, tell tail, and tell tale, but didn't find any tell-tales. Anyone know of any that exist for Trainz?

Tell-Tales: At one time, tell-tales were placed along the track on either side of low structures such as bridges and tunnels to warn crew members on top of the cars that they could not remain in a standing position while passing under the structure.

If your using Trs12, you have one. it is a track side object like a signal. But I'm pretty sure n8phu uploaded one to his East Coast Trainz Download Page on his website. http://www.theerectinghall.info/

There is this one on the dls, make sure TRS2004 is ticked:

Hey, thanks guys! Those are perfect. PBY357: Glad you mentioned the erecting hall site -- I was trying to remember where to get the C&O cantilever signals. Thanks.

Search must not want to be my friend today because I searched Content Manager and the DLS black pages and didn't get any results.
 
In the UK, 'loading gauges' were similar although used for a different purpose - to check the height of loaded wagons/vans when leaving the goods yard. They can be found under the name 'gauge'. Some had adjustable heights - I have a photo of one somewhere (but don't remember where - it was a long time ago!)

Similar telltales can be found in advance of road bridges here, too. There is one each side of a low bridge on the road from Worksop to Chesterfield - a chain between posts with dangling bits to touch the top of any over-height vehicle.

I recently talked to someone gifted with skills in 3d modelling and was mentioning those things to him.
The idea was to have a track object without the "gallow" and a spline with a line to support multiple telltales in yards. That plus an height editable object to adjust to lower/higher sidings.
Might happen.
