Signal Bridge kit started

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I built a NJ iInternational signal bridge kit a while back and only recently found the signals I’d bought for it.

So last night I got down to fitting the signals to the deck and planted the bridge today. I hope to get the lamps working tonight

I snapped off a few pics of the layout before fitting the signal bridge - the camera was placed on the tracks just where the bridge will fit, so I had to do it now or never.

Also in B/W

I have to ask:

Why did you position the bridge over the sidings, rather than over the main line?

The main line is the right hand track that passes under the bridge. The left hand signal controls the exit from the siding - the left track passing through the signal bridge.

The track to the right of the bridge is not part of the main, it is just a loop and will be signalled seperately - eventually.

GREAT pics! The lighting and detail make it look very realistic. I would love to see more of your layout. What do you plan on using to control the lamps?
