Running light in the mine district.
Just wondering what make your signal boxes are, or are they scratch built?
If I may add: best my research could come up with was all railroads differed in height and even within the railroad itself. Most were a scale distance 14-18 feet from the bottom of the base to the top of the signal head. I have a ~1/8" separation from sig head to end of brass at top. Be looking for my post this weekend on how I made my 3 light sigs for around $6.00.
I've added a short gallery of Platte Canyon Sub images to my website.

I love your imagery! Sure wish you were local as I'd love to come see it.
grande man;203559... The next layout... now [U said:that[/U] one is going to be the one to visit!
Empty coal drag rumbles toward the Joint Line from Denver's Cherokee Station power plant.
Something I think about periodically in modeling is the authenticity of what is typically perfect track work. Seeing this little wiggle of rail headed toward the plant seems to add to the realism - for me at least. I don't know if it was intentional or actually a frustration, but it looks good
