Hi
I have been trying to source the signal heads (SH3) to no avail. Can some one give me a pointer please?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter
None of the retailers are stocking the signal heads currently, but you can order direct. Just send an e-mail with your requirements to get a quote, and you can pay with PayPal.

Thanks Paul
Will get in touch (will need a SC1 as well). Am making a signal shim as a precursor to the lap siding.

It is stated that the SH3 head will fit on top of 2.5mm tube but the GW searchlights were mounted on the side of the post; is there an alternative fixing method, can they be glued?
Although my layout is DCC I want to operate my points and signals in the old fashioned way with levers so I have to ask whether these items can be used in such a way: this question also applies to the SBR actuator for Ratio semaphore signals.

The heads can be glued with any glue that will stick to rough nylon. I generally use cyanoacrylate.
The SBR actuator requires a servo controller such as the SC2 or similar, and these can be activated by a lever (such as Hornby R047).
The searchlight heads when fitted with suitable current limiting resistors can be operated via a SPDT switch or lever (such as the hornby R046).
Points can be operated by the SB1 actuator and SC2 servo controller, and can be operated by a lever (such as the Hornby R047).
