Awesome!!! I live a short 5-10 minute bike ride from the UP and another couple minutes to the BNSF. Also, are your lights on a bracket? My school is also closer to the BNSF Cuba sub but it’s relatively dead, so I walk to the UP.Nascar Fan007 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:32 amLucky!

Re: Signals You Own
Sadly the brackets on my 12x20 lights are broken, but my 8 inch light still has a bracket. I'll show you what I'm talking about when I get home. I usually film the Sedalia Sub since catching trains on the KCS is hard. The trains come out of nowhere at random. I mostly film the River Runner. I have ventured out to Sugar Creek to film the BNSF, but always come unlucky.UnionPacific4Life wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:34 amAwesome!!!

Re: Signals You Own
Should we start a new quote, or move to a PM chat? The quote is kinda getting long.

Re: Signals You Own
Yes to either. We should probably move to PM before this gets waaay off topic.
Also, how are the brackets broke?
Also freebrickproductions is gonna kill you for double-posting like that JK nothing against him.

Re: Signals You Own
Idk how they got broken, I'm gonna assume they got broke when the railroad took them out of service. I am in need of new brackets for them. If you know where I can get new brackets, let me know.UnionPacific4Life wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:39 amYes to either. We should probably move to PM before this gets waaay off topic.

Re: Signals You Own
Sorry for bumping this topic, but I finally got some pics of my bells on my Flickr account if anyone wants to check it out.

I own a WCH 1st gen mechanical bell, but soon I might get another bell if I find a better deal.
