With all the modern equipment I have, I'm gonna have to put it aside do to my decision to build a small layout (something to play with while I wait to buy a house). I do have some smaller locos and cars (40') and they are 40's and 50's era. I love wig-wags and want to have some on this layout. Does anyone know of a company that makes animated wig-wags or is this a scratchbuilt project? Thanks!
I put together an operating wig-wag using a N scale signal from NJI. It was a pretty invoved project because it operates by adding an LED to the signal and a pushrod that runs into a bulding. The pushrod is operated by a Faller motor hidden inside the structure. Everything is powered by extra outputs from a Marson Electronics grade crossing system (via a Tortoise machine). The Marson system and Tortoise mainly control lights and gates at an adjacent grade crossing. I have some pics of both at... http://community.webshots.com/album/27253865vQuOeMObCi Russ [ 28.

Hi Russ, Thanks for the post. The web site won't let me in. It says I'm not the owner of the book. What would you suggest? Thanks, John
