Taking pictures of your model railroad
Author: DocJohn

I have Integrated Signal Systems installing signals at the control points of my ho gauge model RR that is a fictional recreation of a short section of New York Central River Division around 1961-62.  First signals to go up are at CP 14 and show last NB train of the day approaching south end of passing siding that extends to CP 15. 

Picture with lights off has the signal lights too bright and the headlight of the Rapodo RDC not bright enough.  So, how does one replicate high beam on a locomotive headlight?

Curiosity has me thinking that F7 might have been activated by turning off the ditch lights ,then press F7 (dims the lights coming into a station) MAYBE THEY WEREN'T TURNED BRIGHT  WHEN LEAVING THE STATION? this is covered under F7 Dim the headlights of my Rapido Cabbage unit Ho. Later in F12  Hostler (Switching)  Lighting, one quote says Press F12 to put both headlights on dim. Press F12 again to revert back to the default setting., Hope this helps John, both are Rapido dealing with headlights, if not maybe Jayson will see this.

Where did you get your Homasote from?

Both my traintables here at my Deland home were built by professional carpenters.  I am not sure where they got the Homasote although one carpenter said he got it frm a distributor in Deland that only deals with the trade.
