I am a railfan, signalfan, and I'm interested in tornado sirens. I hope to learn new things about traffic lights because I'm interested in them and don't know much about them.

Controls these nice 8" CH type R beacons: (I believe the "bouncing ball" cluster signals were 12" type R)

Not sure those are mechanical... you can shove an electronic flasher in one of those no issue!

I love those CH deco flasher cabinets! The other cabinet looks like a generic brand
