hey all just wondering whats the dif in the 2a semaphore cases, why that two of mine have the adjustments on the case on the outside and two have none? how would you adjust the blade just by timing that little adjustment?

Dude, just sharing something I have learned in the past month or so. When it comes to this site, you gotta have legitimate information to talk about on here. When someone who knows semaphores inside and out doesn't have a clue what your talking about you obviously are missing some key info. If someone gives you some info/advice, take it. Don't give the experts crap. I have learned that the hard way and I am fortunate to still be on this site.

does any body know about type 2a semaphores i have six but need to find out about one that has no paper work on them?

Huh?

YOUR TO DUMB TO KNOW ANY THING ABOUT THEM ANT YA!!

Yeah that's it. I've actually restored 3 of them to fully operating condition. I don't get what it is you're asking. You say you have six, but have one with no paper work? WHAT ARE YOU AXING OF US?!?!?

How hard is it to restore one of these things to operating condition? I know that cosmetics is easy but I hear mechanically these things are an absolute nightmare, and this is from a guy who has restored one himself. I am looking for a semaphore blade with lenses to add to my collection at some point too, do you have any clue as to where I might be able to obtain one where the prices are reasonable? When unknowledgeable people get anything railroad related they automatically think that its worth a million bucks.
