Modeling banjo signals
This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

To say I did something, .010 styrene. 21/32 circle template for the main shape, and used a leather punch tool for the openings. Thinking about heating up some strip and forming the edge.

Not sure if the Reading had any of them, but Hall made them, and for fun, I made a quick prototype.

Looks great Bill. I'm actually 3D printing mine. Wish I could figure out how to post the darn picture, but I already tried printing it and it works quite well. I have some details I want to do before I go and put stuff on it. I made it so that a small LED can be put in there, but only for the colored signals, this way it sill has the clear signal as it had back then. I'll let you know how it goes as I keep working on it.
