CDR MISCH:
Adding to Dr. Scheer's comments -- the dealer at the "Great Gaithersburg
Gougeing"
is a salvage contractor from Lodi, Ohio. I think he's recently moved to
Chillicothe, OH.
He has many signals saved that came from the Weary Erie. At last years show,
he had a grade crossing signal from the Milwaukee Road which had
diamond-shaped
frames that held a banjo style wig-wag. If you go to Gaithersburg in
November,
be sure to bring the deed to your ranch. They're expensive.
Certainly they don't command the majesty of a mast-mounted signal, but you
may choose to consider a dwarf signal or something similar. I have a GRS
dwarf signal and a switch indicator (a.k.a. motor car indicator) in the den.
When it
comes to weathering and mobility, they do have an advantage.
