SignalTraffic Forums

This is a reminder of how amazing these signals looked when they were brand new as well. The last of these were made close to 30 years before I was even born so it's easy not to realize how great these must have looked in a brand new installation.

The more I look at it the more I'm realizing or recognizing. I mean that thing looks crystal clear like glass, just beautiful. I fool around a lot on here I can honestly say that's what ya want your signal to look like after a restoration, I know mine doesn't look like that nor does it even rank.
I gotta say that CH looks sweet like candy.
How many licks does it take to get to the center

Thanks, guys.

Sorry for das bump but I just saw that I promised Steve an interior shot of this signal almost a year ago. Here it be:

Just awesomw job on it. Wish mine whicb is still in pieces looked that good. What color did you use?

It sure doesn't look like it was your first restore! Against the stark white walls it looks like it is on exhibit!

I had it powdercoated in a stock color called Fir Green. You can find it by the code RAL 6009.
