another signal build

Just finished another signal from showcase miniatures. I purchased individual parts for this one to make a signal that represents the signal that used to protect westbound movements across the diamond in Plymouth. I think it came out pretty good. the tri-color signal housing is a Union Switch and Signal type instead of a General Railway Signal type. But other than that I think it looks pretty good. Here are a few pics.

since my signal has gathered so much interest, I thought I'd put a couple shots of it on the layout. Along with a dwarf, also showcase miniatures.

I like it! The dwarf looks pretty cool as well. How long did it take to make that?

Thanks David,

The dwarf was pretty quick to build, only a few pieces. Not sure on the mast signal, but I am planning on building another similar one and was considering making a video of the build. If and when I do that, I'll keep track of the time and share the video.

I am SO glad to see working signals become commonplace in the model railroad space.
Awesome work on your custom ones! Are we looking north into Plymouth Yard?

amessmann, Yes! The track/signal arrangments don't really match the prototype, but yes its Plymouth Michigan.
