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!

Re: Operating HO scale WRRS Harpes wigwags!
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.
