Semaphores

I couldn't resist. ... Talheim now has all semaphores selected, though not yet functional. Tonight I installed the two on the north side of the station.

Talheim north end
The twin-coil machines are installed into the roadbed to hide them a bit from view. Where space is tight between tracks, I dug the hole even a little bit under the track. I will fit a piece of styrene over the opening to protect the machine from landscaping, dust and dirt. Yet I'll try to keep the cover removable for maintenance.

Exit signals at the north end of Talheim
These signals are about 30 years old, and even though they are definitely not up to modern detailing standards, they look reasonably good.

Yes, that Roco 211 still needs detailing...
