Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
Nice find! I'm kind of curious as to how you came across it as it seems that is just being used as a decoration.busman_49 wrote:Not the best photo, but here ya go...

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
It's at a house in my old hometown... That thing's been there for quite some time; possibly even before I moved away.

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
There use to be a different miniature railway there that had 8'' signals with wishbone gates and a US&S Teardrop bell!LARDLOGO wrote:St. Louis, Missouri

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
Found these miniature signals at the Ghan Train and Rail Museum in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia:

Some images I found of the crossing and its signals:
The National Railway Museum in Adelaide, South Australia has some full scale signals for their miniature train, complete with GRS lights!:
Here's some videos of the crossing operating:
They also had a Wig Wag signal at this location at one point:
It has since been moved to the rear of the museum and still operates alongside a Teardrop Bell!
