Operating HO scale WRRS Harpes wigwags!
The frames look somewhat oversized, but the swing rate looks realistic, and they even light up! Pretty good job! If you put these on an S or O scale layout, they'd be close to the right size!

Yeah, the frames are a bit large. I don't know as I like the font on the crossbucks either. And to be honest, I never saw the crossbucks mounted like that on any wigwags here in Iowa. The taller ones like that, the crossbucks were always on a seperate wood post...whereas the shorties, the crossbuck was mounted underneath. Don't really care for the bell audio either. But overall they do look pretty realistic. I like the swing action...that does look good.
Well,

Yep. They were fairly common around this state in that configuration.

saves the time and money to dig a hole and put a post in for the crossbuck.
