Signals

Hi All...

Im ready to put signals on one section of my Project i am Working on, but i have no idea what i should put and what they mean, so was hoping some one could point me in right direction...

Thanks

Daniel.

There are several tutorials, and YouTube videos. Overall, I believe that signal should go a tad before, and a tad after a turnout, not right at the switchpoint. And a line ends red signal will show if the track dead ends somewhere (by adding a loop or segment of BNSF50 Invisatrack you can make a dead end line, an active track, that actually goes somewhere).

I like PRR, B&O, N&W, CPL and PLS on Cantever Gantrys and N&W Signal Brackets, N&W Signal Support BRKT, and, as well as Seniorchiefs New Haven High Dwarf movable paddle low signal, and animated paddle Semaphones by GFisher and AltoDave

Alot of routes have signals galore on every siding, where a real prototype RR does not justify the cost of installing signals on branch lines, and these areas are usually Dark Territory controlled by crews using radio or hand signals

I find the tutorials in this page to be well made and simple to understand:
