The 60/40 Layout And Other Railway Related Things

[ctclibby]

Red, Green and Amber for 3 aspect 4 aspect are Red, Double Amber and Green, Red and Green for 2 Aspect, there's no other colour combination you realistically can have on a RR, unless you build your own, in which case there's no limit as to what colour combination you can have.

FWIW - couple more aspects in my neck of the woods: Lunar, Flashing Yellow and Blue
Lunar - for movements into un-bonded siding ( no detection )
Flashing Yellow - between Green and Yellow - more or less restricted - slow down next one is Yellow
Blue - used in fueling facilities when fueling; well that is BNSF, unknown if others use it.

So glad you put your build thread in your signature! Haven't been able to find this for a long time.

I spent some time looking over what I've missed and your layout is looking great! I love the work you've done on the buildings!

Added some decals to the Oil Storage Depot and surrounding fence.

Looks great! I recently tried my hand at decals and found them to be a bit tricky to get right and not to damage them, especially the tiny ones! You did a great job

Thank You, a small pair of tweezers and a pair of those magnifying glasses help tremendously

What you call magnifying glasses are just my regular glasses. For decals I'm trying to contact the builders of the James Webb Telescope

I wear glasses too, but these do work for me.

Those look like the ticket. Not like the normal gooners.

Where did you get them?

Mine came from eBay, they're about $8

Looks great Chris.

You did a great job on the signals!

Don't feel bad. I once drilled 2 holes for feeders on a turnout, and drilled right into a horizontally mounted Tortoise switch machine.... with both holes!

You did the tortoise a favor then .........

Just noticed on the video, one of the lights on the Oil Depot, is too bright, great, another electrical issue to fix, my day's just getting better, not.
