He - or someone else - removed only the photos but not the misplaced text. Moderators?

What are you aksing for one right-hand tunrout + exact postage? How old is it?

I found my LH Shinohara turnout, but may be interested in one RH-er. Would you please post a few photos of it, but only if it's the Shinohara model #948-8801. Thanks.

Poor choice of words. Perhaps counter - the feature showing the number of replies to a post - is better. Anyway it seems to have corrected itself now.

There are now three back-and-forth messages here, yet only one is still showing in the "Replies" tabulator.

Shinohara #948-8801, #4, code 83 left-hand HO turnout. In brand new or like new condition only. If you also happen to have the same in a RH turnout, holler!

I'm about to use CRC 2-26 for the first time to clean my tracks. It's in a spray can. Will it harm the plastic ties, ballast and adjoining grass, etc. landscaping if I spray it on? Or should I use a cloth saturated with it to wipe the rails by hand? Thanks!

Gordon Lightfoot's iconic "Canadian Railroad Trilogy."

Yep, the initial outlay for the Lamplighter puts a dent in the pocketbook, but after that I'd consider the lamps and rolls of fiber reasonably priced. I got mine early this year and don't regret it. The system may well outlast us all!

If you want simplicity (no wiring or soldering), check out Dwarvin.com. It's all fiber optics. A bit pricey at first, but an ingenious idea. Dwarvin also makes several styles of lamps for various locations on a layout, as well as some signaling accessories.

Rico, Thanks, but..."I've also since learned that the only books even remotely related to my question are long-winded recitations of rules and regulations, with basically zero graphics, that were written for railroad employees, not the general public." The other...

And those cited signs look like...and mean...?

How does one know which trackside signs (not signals) to use (for what purposes) and where they would go on a layout when many prototype signs consist only of a letter, a number or a symbol of one kind or another and no wording? My GN freight layout, c. 1945-1955, is a small 5' x 7' with a...

Interesting. I model the Great Northern in the transition era. Is there a GN-specific website or book that would show signage and symbols with color photos, names and functions of each all in one place? I'm a member of the GNRHS, but have found little if any such information there.

I'm looking for a guidebook, website or other reference source that interprets and describes the uses, functions and placement of the multitude of static, trackside railroad signs and their symbols found on the prototype across the U.S. If they happen to be line-specific, I model the Great...

Thanks, Jeff. I've since corrected myself and bought a roll of 1/16" tape.

The screen name gods finally caved in, and I now have a moniker!
