    Great MOW trucks!(y)

    I made this operating Hi-Rail MOW truck a long time ago based on a Ron Bearden article. It's DC and I've since switched to DCC, so I don't run it much any more (it never ran very good anyways, but still looks good as a static model)….

    As far as signals go, I made a few operating crossing signals primarily out of brass. The cantilevers I made right around the same time NJI came out with theirs (of course!). I've since purchased some 3D printed bells for the tops of these….

    Second cantilever made for unusual installation (aside from addition of gate arm wire attachment, stock NJI signal in foreground of first two pics)….

    Double-headed signal on left with stock NJI signal on right. Can't remember why I wanted to make this one....
