Equivalent signal suggestions please?

G'day All,

I'm looking to replace some missing assets on a route I've imported into 2019. I've got a few sorted out but I've got these signals from EastCoastTrainz left, and I have absolutely no clue about signals. Could anyone possibly suggest some equivalent items from the dls, built in or perhaps JR or other mainstream source please?

<kuid:336419:36013> SAL 3 16' Relay Permissive Intermediate Signal LEFT


<kuid:336419:36003> SAL 3 Lite N-2 Dwarf


<kuid:336419:36011> SAL 3-3 18' Relay Permissive Intermediate Signal LEFT


<kuid:336419:36010> SAL 3-3 18' Relay Permissive Intermediate Signal RIGHT

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Cheers,
Piere.

Just bumping this one up a bit in case someone can help please.

I'm mainly interested in something that functions the same as what's listed as I have no idea what would be an equivalent. If it looks similar, then that's a bonus.

If anyone can suggest alternatives for these four assets, then the route will be complete.

Cheers,
Piere.

As the creator has no assets on the DLS you wont get much response because we don't know what they look like.

Well, as I mentioned, my primary focus is similar functionality, not appearance.

I haven't the faintest idea what a "SAL 3 16' Relay Permissive Intermediate Signal LEFT" is, or how it functions, so I have no way of knowing what to look for in readily available signals as to whether they would work the same way or not. My concern is that if I replace it with something that works differently, the route may not run properly.

If someone does happen to also know what they look like (maybe they might have the original assets from EastCoastTrainz) and could suggest something that also looks similar, then that would be great, but definitely of secondary importance (or less).

Cheers,
Piere.

Piere,

Relay means they have a signal base attached. A permissive signal is the same as an advance warning or distant signal. The equivalent of these is JR SL 05, or Searchlight 05.
In their nomenclature, a signal with an "L" in the name refers to left side.

<kuid2:45324:24313:3> Searchlight Signal 05 (Left)
<kuid2:45324:24312:2> Searchlight Signal 05 head
<kuid2:45324:24314:2> Searchlight Signal 05 head (Left)


Justin also has add-on cabinets (relays) that clip.

<kuid2:45324:24415:2> Signal G plate
<kuid2:45324:24416:1> Signal G plate (Left)
<kuid2:45324:24409:2> Signal Ladder 1 platform (Left)
<kuid2:45324:24401:2> Signal Ladder 1 platform
<kuid2:45324:24410:2> Signal Ladder 2 platform (Left)
<kuid2:45324:24402:2> Signal Ladder 1 platform side mount
<kuid2:45324:24403:2> Signal Ladder 2 platform
<kuid2:45324:24404:2> Signal Ladder 2 platform side mount
<kuid2:45324:24412:2> Signal Ladder 3 platform
<kuid2:45324:24413:1> Signal Ladder 3 platform (Left)
<kuid2:45324:24400:2> Signal Ladder std
<kuid2:45324:24405:2> Signal Relay Box

Others:
<kuid2:506034:501026:1> JR SL(05) 1-H dwarf
<kuid2:506034:521642:1> JR SL(05) 1-H bridge 10ft
<kuid2:506034:511565:1> JR SL(05) 1-H center/thin ladder 15ft
<kuid2:506034:501597:1> JR SL(05) 1-H center 20ft
<kuid2:506034:501037:1> JR SL(05) 1-H center 15ft
<kuid2:506034:511563:1> JR SL(05) 1-H right/thin ladder 15ft
<kuid2:506034:501598:1> JR SL(05) 1-H-L center 20ft
<kuid2:506034:501038:1> JR SL(05) 1-H-L center 15ft
<kuid2:506034:511564:1> JR SL(05) 1-H-L center/thin ladder 15ft
<kuid2:506034:511562:1> JR SL(05) 1-H-L left/thin ladder 15ft
<kuid:506034:101119> JR SL(05) 1-H-offset bridge 10ft
<kuid2:506034:501781:1> JR SL(05)+head 1-H center 20ft
<kuid2:506034:501063:1> JR SL(05)+head 1-H one level 15ft
<kuid2:506034:501782:1> JR SL(05)+head no mast 20ft
<kuid2:506034:501632:1> JR SL(05)+head no mast one level 15ft

If you need to replace absolute signals, look for 04.

Diverge signals are type 06, and Interlocking are type 08.

Hope this helps.



Here are some dwarf signals that will work for you by RRS.

<kuid:481384:11110405> US&S CL 2-Tiered Dwarf Signal Y/R RRS
<kuid:481384:11110403> US&S CL 3-Tiered Dwarf Signal Y/G/R RRS
<kuid:481384:11110004> US&S CL N-2 Dwarf Signal Y/R RRS
<kuid:481384:11110404> US&S CL 4-Tiered Dwarf Signal G/Y/G/R RRS

if you search B&M on the DLS, there are some great semaphores.

These are pretty nice, but quite old now. Jointed Rail made some Hall Semaphores which look nice and work well in TRS19.

Thank you both very much for the suggestions and John for the explanations as well. Very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Piere.
