Title: P&D Marsh Semaphore Signals
Post by: port perran on November 03, 2017, 07:24:32 PM
I'm making up some P&D Marsh signal kits.
They look fine but I cannot make up my mind if adding the "jewels" for the colour aspects on the signal arms looks right.
Anyone got any feelings one way or the other?
I'm leaning towards not attaching the jewels at the mo.

Are you not better with the finer ratio signals

Fiddly to build and delicate but they look great finished, you can mix paint with varnish and fill the hole in the arm to create the coloured aspects

I thought the photos were very good.

Has anyone tried Greenmax 2814 semaphore signals?  How good are they?

It worked perfectly, thanks. I'd managed to miss that particular thread...
