Traffic lights

[Dominick]

Anyone know where I could find a nice looking set of Traffic lights
preferably with LED lights also (don't know if these are possible)
but I'd like the light to have a hanging one and one down the side
of the same pole that the hanging one is on

thanks

Walthers offers operating traffic lights, saw a set on a freinds' layout recently. Light colors change, real neat.

These guys have them too, but they'll require lighting.

How did they look Bob? I was considering ordering some but I wasn't sure how fine the detail was. Do they actually have some sort of flat lenses or are they just LEDs sticking out? It's hard to tell from the photos. I was never too impressed with the lights I've seen on eBay that are just LEDs snapped into a plastic housing. The dome shape of the bulbs looks too bug-eyed.

This is a little off topic but what are the lights called that sit alongside a track that give either a green or a red light. I'm new still to all the terms and equipment usage.

Here's a cropped shot of my friend's traffic lights. Not the greatest, but shot was handheld without flash.

Nate, if I remember right, the ones at my LHS were no lens, just LED.

I don't know if you live by a Hobby Lobby at all, but they sell them.

You would have to buy two units and 'bash' them to get what you want. It might be a little tricky because of the wiring but I certainly think it can be done.

I don't know if you ever got your answer to this question but they are called semaphors.
