Had to do this. The Lionel 450 Bridge signal wiring is finished and I am delighted. Next step is to install on the layout. This incorporates the MTH infrared signal activator and the WeHonest control board for the center signal. What do you think??

Wood, the signal bridge looks great! You did a fabulous job. Thanks Joe. I have it installed and hope to power it up tonight. Planning on doing a video and try to display it here. This forum is looking good. I love the bright colors. Exploring the different ways of communicating with our members. So happy to have a place to share model train stories. |

Wood, the signal bridge looks and works great! Was it easy to attach the picture and video? Yes Joe, it is very easy. I used YouTube and simply copied the url into the button "insert video" 6th block from the right. I think you have to use one of the streaming services like YouTube. It does not appear that you can simply upload a video from you computer. Not sure, but that is how I did it. The picture are real simple. Click on "Add Attachment and browse your computer for the photo, click the pic and push "Done" I do wish the picture were a little bigger in the thread. If you click one it loads big and then you simply push the back arrow on your computer. The other issue is getting an email notification when someone posts on your thread. I haven't found a way to do that yet. I have not figured out "insert user link" and "insert code. Those are all buttons on the top right side. I am going ask the Administrator in "General Discussion" |

Nice are you using infrared switches to activate the signals?

Nice are you using infrared switches to activate the signals? Yes Denny. A cool feature of this forum is if you click on the picture it will open big. Then click on anything in the picture you want to examine and it will zoom in big time. Now click on the picture below. Once open put your mouse just below the two MTH Infrared platforms, then click again. On the left side of the center track you will see an infrared unit amoungst the gravel. That is the WeHonest infrared running the center LED lights. It is a great feature to see details on any picture. I used the MTH infrared because I had them and used the WeHonest because it looks at the bottom of the train and not out the side where it would fire every time a train went by on any of the three tracks. So now I have three close tracks independently firing the correct signal. |

What a terrific project, Wood. It brings so much realism to your layout. You have sure become a master modeler.

I'm not sure I understand how this works, but it sure is impressive! How does everything wire up Wood? Are you running from accessory power? I had some Lionel signals once and they didn't fit across my two mains.  |
