Description

I created this train signal with a geared lever to give a more realistic look and feel. 


The signal is printed in seperate parts so No AMS is required. 

 

Assembly required

4 x Black circles

2 x Green circles 

2x Red circles 

 

These are inserted int a sliding shelf, with the black circles blocking visibility from the other side. 

 

The Lid is a press fit and unfortunately may break if removed.

The coolest darn Brio track device. Makes it feel more like a real train. A few things. See the pictures for how to load the color circles. On one side it's Red, Blank, Blank, Green. On the other side is it Blank, Green, Red, Blank. And the white plug goes in the arm. The plugs fit pretty well. Now the sad part here, this requires glue. The way I printed it, the tabs just didn't hold. I know most of you love super glue, but really Gloop for PLA is the best way to do this.

Nice 👍 It would be even more realistic if you made it as a set, one with green and yellow (distant signal) and one with the green and red (stop signal). Might be a bit much for a toy set tho, lol.

you could replace the black parts and achieve this? (although you would need another layer of lights / extra height on the signal to accomadate the extra lights if you wanted to achieve a stop light aswell?

I was thinking two separate signals. You wouldn't need to change the design at all, just print one with red and green and the other yellow (instead of the red) and green. Just for your pics really, and realism. I've been a train driver for a long time so it stood out straight away, lol.

Nice print. Great design. I did have to glue the two halves of the signal though.
