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!

Rdgrail OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 77 Thank you received: 16	Howdy doodly modelerinos, I was wondering if anyone knows of any prints (specs) of the banjo signals? I want to try and create them, plus give a couple to a friend of mine for Christmas, if possible haha. I just need the overall dimensions so I can scale it down. Thanks! -Nick DeRenzi

The Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern RR tourist line (Kempton, PA) had one of these in their possession, when I was volunteering there in the 1960s. A large format publication of selected Reading Company maintenance drawings, done by either the Anthracite RR Historical group or the RCT&HS, includes a drawing of this signal. Will be working in the toy room today and will check around for my copy of this book.

MrBill OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 169 Thank you received: 31	There are plenty of good pics of these online. With a circle template it should be easy to draw up the shape. The general dimensions of the signal head itself are 4 feet wide, by 5'-3" tall.
