PC: Re: PC signal question

["Stephen Foster" <wabash57@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PC signals.... whatever the original road used.  on the pennsy , nyc etc
they were often not the same.... so you need to research the branch line you
are modeling.

if your layout is generic  then you can choose what you like.

PC did not go out and change all those signals  and I am sure to this day
there are variations in styles.

I am no expert on the differences however, just know that is the case.

Happy New Year.
keep your rails shiny
