A place where I ramble on about model railroad scenery methods, tips, techniques, and lots of other interesting model building topics. I may veer off the track now the then to talk about fishing and competition BBQ.

East Brewster, (Cape Cod) MA station on the New Haven
Check out the funky signal on the front of the station. I wonder how this worked?
There doesn't seem to be anyway to change the color or location - there are no ropes or wires attached to the signal.
Perhaps the station agent uses a pole to slide the board out to the end (where it is) to flag a train and then back again towards the roof after the train has left?
Looks like maybe the signal board could be moved sideways off a stop and lowered out of the frame, then a different signal inserted into the frame from below. Or, maybe the top is open and the signal is lifted out.
