Looks good, Andrew. But, where's the Eagle/Siemens all-arrow head? :-)

Thanks, guys! :hello:

John, sadly the Eagle will have to wait until I have my own place and complete authority over how the space is used. I bought it knowing that I would be unlikely to have space for it and have since put it back in the bag in preparation for long-term storage. My parents have been extraordinarily accommodating of my hobby and I'm quickly spilling over the corner of the garage that sort of became the corner for signals. I don't want to abuse the privilege, especially given the fact that I'm living rent free.

I've got a decent amount saved up for my own house but would like to have at least 10% down (if not a bit more) so it'll be a few more years. I have found a very nice townhouse that is in my price range, has plenty of room for signals and is close to the light rail line which I can ride for free through my job. Hopefully one of those comes on the market by the time I'm ready to buy.

Andrew,

Ah, welcome to the club. I take it you get the usual weird looks from the parents when another acquisiton arrives? That's one of the reasons why I've culled my collection down to one signal head at this time. Don't have to explain why there's another signal head going up the stairs toward the room. Once I'm on my own, I'll start adding more pieces again.

I get the eye roll from my wife every time another large brown box arrives or she has to help me lift a signal up out of the trunk of my car. :Phil:

And nice video Andrew, I especially like that DT. Still in awe at how nice that powder coat came out on it. :drool:

lol, I may wind up being perpetually single. Am almost 40. Two more years, and, I'm there. Haven't had interest in dating, and after seeing what my sister went through with her ill-fated marriage, I'm not sure if I will go through with it myself. We'll see. At the moment, need to get back into gainful employment, so I can start saving up for getting out on my own.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. That being Andrew's video and setup.
