For Christmas I received a PRR signal in HO scale from Z-Stuff for trains. It is the model DH-1060 HO. I installed the signal on my small bedroom layout which depicts Conrail's Allegheny Industrial track from Oakmont to Verona, PA. Essentially, it is a brass NJ International signal with a sensor and circuitry attached. Installation is very simple. All that is required is a 1/2 inch hole for the circuit board to fit in and a connection of two wires to a DC power pack. The signal isn't connected to any dispatching system, but operates independently. As per a real PRR position light block signal, the model displays a clear vertical indication when it doesn't sense a train next to it. When a train is detected, the indication changes to a horizontal stop. After the train has passed, the signal displays a caution diagonal indication on its way to displaying a clear indication again. See the pictures below for more detail. Happy New Year! -Charlie
