I'm about to model the D&RGW during the 1950's, which signals do I need, and which manufacturer makes them?
The Moffat Route fatures signals of the Denver & Salt Lake, while the Tennessee Pass area used different signals. Here's the D&SL prototype, still in use at Rollinsville, CO: East Rollins: West Rollins: A similar installation at West Cliff siding, Pinecliffe, CO:
I'm learning, I didn't know it depended on which part. I meant a mainline signal, along the route of the California Zephyr. I guess that's the Moffat route?
Hi Carl, The single target signals were from Denver to Bond. The hooded three light signals were from Bond west. However, there might have been exceptions. If you let us know which areas you plan to model, we might be able to pin down the exact models. Hope this helps.
The CZ traveled the Moffat Route. I don't have pics of former D&SL intermediate signals, if that's what you are asking about. I have pics of the UP versions... Anything else we can help with?
I'm not really modelling a certain area, I'm building oNtrak modules that I want to look somehow realistic for the decennium I'd like to model. Bought the Kato CZ last year, with the D&RGW PA ABA set, and that's how I decided to model the D&RGW, with my visit to the Rockies, Glenwood Springs and Aspen in the back of my mind. That was already after the D&RGW was gone...
Are you looking for working or non-operating signals? We're releasing Signal Heads to go along with our signal bridge and you might be able to build signals very close to the D&RGW style with what we have coming... www.nscaleblma.com/signalbridges.html
Those are very fine looking signal bridges you got there Craig. I prefer working signals, that looks very realistic.
