Scenery Objects for the LIRR Route

[Super Chief]

It was looking pretty ragged back then, and the town wanted it spruced up. Here's a pic of almost same angle as the virtual image.

Attached is the gas tank that used to be in Jamaica.  I should make it better, but it is good enough for a hot summer day when I should be doing something else.

hey Alcoc420 where did you get the dwarf signals?

[alcoc420]

Train-sim.com.  They came with the PRR position light signals.  One of Hank Sundemeyer's creations.

Oh those are the ones I was useing. I changed the light color from white to amber for a more realistic look.

Trev....
Sorry to have to correct you but the dwarf signals, both low and high types, the correct color is lunar white, not amber.

[m7train]

Really? I matched the color to a photo and it turns out to be amber. Ill post the photo when I get my computer back.

Don't bother with a photo Trev. I don't trust your photo. How would you know the color balance in your photo is correct?

Lunar White is used for dwarf signals, yellow for the position light signals.
Go to Jamaica and llok for yourself. There are several on mounted on the platform canopy on tracks 6-8 ans well as the ground mounted ones at each end of the platforms.  Night time is the best time to observe the color.

But you can color them anything you want to. It is after all, your route.

Lunar white for the Low Homes, with black casings.
Position Lights should be Amber not "yellow" and on black heads.
Many Position lights have a "darker" more amber appearance then yellow.
But it looks great!! Did you get the double slip switches to work?

Your right. The Dwarf signals are Lunar White. Its the Position lights that are Amber. The ground mounted ones at jamaica are alittle dirty thats why they appear to be darker. The ones above the track level that hang over the platform are cleaner.

Regarding the two closest low home signals (dwarf)
The one on the left is showing a Slow Clear aspect and the one on the right is showing a Slow Approach. The switch just past the Slow Approach appears to be set at divirge which would run into the Slow Clear signals path.

As this is an interlocking, this is an impossible set up. two paths cleared into the same track at the same time with both signals indicating a slow aspect.  
IOW, if there were a train on each of these tracks where the signals are located, they would both be allowed to proceed, and I don't think you want that.

Check the linking of both signals.  The third low home dwarf is redundant as the signal showing the Slow Approach protects both the divirge switch and the trailing point switch. (the one with the diesel on the other switch entrance.

Nice job on the Brooklyn Union Gas Co. tank.
