Hello all, I work for the railroad and I collect and restore railroad signals. I am wanting a way to get them to change colors automatically. If you go to this site, an example of my signal and what I would like it to do are at the bottom except the top light needs to light up as well.
RR SIGNAL PIX . COM
I figure I'd need six outputs, one each for the greens, yellows, reds and lunars then two other outputs for the top and bottom clears that are independent of the four main color aspects. I ideally would like to have a manual pushbutton advance also. Time on each color would be less than 15 seconds, or variable would be even better. These signals run on 12v either ac or dc, I prefer dc. I am not opposed to driving relays off the board and then powering the signal lamps. Also the top marker light and bottom marker light are never on at the same time.
If anyone is willing to make something like this for me, let me know and what you'll charge, and we can talk specifics. I'd love to do it myself but work keeps me very busy.
Thank you,
Chuck Grigsby
