Traffic light thanx

thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for your advice on my H.O. traffic light question. I found the Model Power #596 light fixtures at nicholas Smith trains inc in broomall PA. for $9.95 in a 2 pack, pre-wired into a 4 position switch operating at 14 volts. I cut the switch out, and wired each lamp into a 12 term. terminal board under the layout at each intersection. I then ran a 8 conductor cable from each intersection back to my computer. I wrote a program to control the lights with different time delays for each color light. The lights look great and work perfect. Being new in model railroading, I am thankful for all of the advise I have received at this website.

thanx again Corbyn City George (ccg)

Good to see a solution found and at a good price. I’ve seen those same signals at Nicholas smith. The only thing that kept me from them is that they use bulbs.

what is the problem with using bulbs

no real problem if you like them. I prefer LED’s since I feel they look better and are better controled by my crossing setup with the lower voltage requirements.
