US style Signals

Does anyone know where I can find some US style signals and gantries used by such railroads as CSX and NS?

Thanks

Hello there!

To tell the truth, I am raising that same question! To start, NS's older Safetran Signals are available on USLW.net (searchlights) and the DLS (multi-head). The content creator for those is NorfolkSouthern37. If you are asking for the hooded "Darth Vader" signals, I am probably asking the same. NorfolkSouthern37 showed a screenshot of a gantry triple hooded signal on the USA Pics thread a while back and I am eager for them to be released. A site has signals resembling the US Signals. You could see those on my route.

Gantries are extremely hard to get in modern terms. Most modern signals are actually hard to find.

I saw the same post from NORFOLKSOUTHERN37. Gosh, I'd love to get my hands on them. So NORFOLKSOUTHERN37 may release them you say?
 
He also made some totally awesome USS&S style signals as well that work really nice and look really cool.

I assume you saw Zak's signal thread on the Freeware announcements forum? Looks like some of those would be ideal for former C&O lines, if we can get him to release some of them. The meshes look great.

If you tick all the trainz boxes on the left of the DLS and put "Cantilever" into Search there are some nice JJS signal gantries.
 
Try searching Seniorchief. I use the PRR and B&O signals which are still in use today. Seniorchief made a lot of type of signals. Hope this helps.:wave:

Just so you guys know. The SAL and the C&O are the same signal design from US&S, but the aspects are moved around and the indications are different to some degree. Im starting to design content for the C&O Peninsula Sub again, and Ill be more than happy to design the C&O equipment as well. Just give me time, with 09 out, im busy getting the old signals to work properly with 09, adding LOD's to cut down the load and simplifying the texture maps. I posted this screenie on the freeware board, so ill do it here to show you guys the Seaboard Air Line signals in the works. Also added a shot of the C&O Cantilever for you C&O guys.

Also, I have the drawings for the Safetrans signals used by either CSX or NS. Thats for another discussion.

Gosh!
I'd love to have them. I check your website often. Nice work. I hope you start releasing your signals soon.
Also, I have a possible request. Can you design the "Darth Vader" signals and gantries to go along with them. The modern gantries Class I railroads are putting up these days...
