Here's some miniature signals near Birch-Bay, Washington. I can't recall much, but the lights were 8" Safetran without visors and a Safetran mechanical bell painted yellow. This is located at a mini-golf/ family entertainment park. Went here for the Santa train ride as a young child in 2006.

The Tiny Town & Railroad which is this interesting tourist attraction in Morrison, Colorado has a crossing with a Peach Basket wigwag and an interesting homemade signal.

Oddly enough, the wigwag is actually a full-sized one. Nothing small about it at all! :ROFL:

I wonder when the street view was taken, it doesn't say it for me.

Nope... no date on mine either. If you notice, they must have been there before the park opened as their is hardly anybody around (except employees). The lady in the white shirt also was escorting him as she is in every shot about 10 feet in front of him most of the time.

Looks like based on this sign it must have been around summer of 2013.

They also have a wihwag which isn't on streetview.

I didn't notice that. They sound kind of unusual if they are.

Interesting how the wig wag swings almost a full 180 side to side. It also appears to be completely motorized (no magnets involved). I kind of like it!
