I am an intermediate model railroader in HO gauge. I found a semaphore
that I didn't know I had. I think it is only a 2 position, red and
green. I can see the black wires for the wheat bulb, but there are
like 3 more wires, very very thin, and I would guess they control a
solenoid. Anyone know how they connect? I use manual turnout controls,
not electric.
thanks, tyler

to clarify, the semaphore I have is the NJ International 2 light
#525-1010. It actually has 4 very very thin wires, along with the 2
wires for the light. 2 light? One light? I am only going from the
description found in online listings. Perhaps what is meant by 2 light
is 2 position with a single light bulb? Not sure. Anyone want to
correct my thinking, have at it:)....thanks--tyler
