So the last two days I have spent building more signal masts for the layout signal bridges. It's time consuming but in a weird way I find it relaxing, when things run smoothly of course.
Recently I had a big win and found some old IHC plastic signal head kits, along with the corresponding signal bridge kits too. The bridge kits are in fact the old watering bridge kit that IHC made but it is the exact same mould that was used for the signal bridge too.
So I have completed my first IHC plastic signal mast for one of the signal bridges.
These kits are very easy to make and very adaptable too, they are perfect for the tiny 1/8" (3mm) Tri-Coloured LED's that I am using as there are no issues with shorts on brass and they are just glued together.
The detail is not quite as good as the Tomar kits that I have previously used and the wires cannot be run in the brass tube so they are exposed. But neatly bundled and secured to the mast and once painted black they will be barely visible.
Many, many more of these to be built......
