    I am looking for US style traffic signals, in a typical red on top, green on bottom configuration. I have three four way intersections that I need to have signals for.

    Because cost is a concern, are the non-working ones? A search on Walthers' web page came up empty. I do remember someone making working ones, and I would be interested in info on those too, but prefer non working ones for now.

    Jeff,
    One of the modeling magazines recently ran an article on making non-working traffic signals (close to scale size) using dry spaghetti. I'll have to look it up.

    Jeff, I'm not sure, but Sunrise Enterprises might make what your looking for. I know they offer MANY excellent styles of block signals used by many RR's, so check them out, and if they don't offer it, ask them and they might be willing to come out with what your looking for.

    There is a photo of the Green Max dummy traffic lights here:

    It is their item 35-2. This dealer is in Australia and has no price(s) listed.

    AFAIK the main US importer for Green Max is Mokei Imports in St Louis MO (usually advertises in Model Railroader).
