The CGE 8-8-8
|
Here's a shot of my CGE 8-8-8 "groove back" after cleaning shown here sitting on my desk. Note that the glass lenses on this signal are still in perfect condition unlike the plastic lenses on modern signals which tend to become dull after around ten years or so. Aside from cleaning I also straightened up the visors a bit and added a rotary switch on the top of the signal by mounting a 4 X 4 box over the existing knockout.
Later on I added a sequencer from eBay as seen below:
I ordered one this time instead of making one since it cost more or less the same but the premade ones also have a flash feature. This one also features the British sequence (green>amber>red>red+amber) in addition to the standard North American sequence.

@Nick, thanks I think I might leave it like this instead of stripping and repainting it.
