NEW WEBSITE! Signalogic
Systems This company does most of its work
in HO but it is now moving into other scales and hopes to have their first
S scale order finished soon. They have moved away from building models and
are focused on providing the best control systems instead.

Z-Stuff for Trains NEW for
S Scale - Smart Signals.
We are happy to announce that our popular trackside smartSignals will soon be available for S-Gauge. We are reducing the height of our DZ-1040 upper and lower quadrant semaphores, our DZ-1050 3-color and our DZ-1060 7-light Pennsy style signals. They are unique in that each signal has a sensor built-in to its base. All one needs to do is place the signal next to the track and apply power. They operate from 12-18V AC or DC. The flags are slow motion and the lights gradually change from one state to another. After the train passes, the signal returns to YELLOW or caution after 4 seconds and to GREEN in another 3 seconds. Prices are $62.95 for the DZ-1040, $47.95 for the DZ-1050 and $49.99 for the DZ-1060. Product will be available from GarGraves Tackage or Ross Custom.

Iron Penguin Electronics
- Most products are HO scale but some can be used with any scale.
I've used the DC auto
reverse unit with a timed delay for reversing trains for point to point
continuous operation. They also carry billboards, lighting kits, special
effects kits, wireles cameras for inside your locomotives and sound modules.
by Miller Engineering - Neon signs, animated billboards and lots more.

wire for LEDs as well as other electronic products.
Richmond Controls
- Lighting, LEDs, etc...and EZ-LITE™ Special Effects modules.
The EZ-LITE™ Special Effects modules for locomotives were designed specifically
for those applications where space is very limited, and the modeler does not
want to modify the locomotive chassis or motor wiring to allow installation.
The EZ07, EZ08 and EZ09 series are capable of driving flashlight bulbs and
“white” LEDs to generate signal light patterns. The EZ09
is well-suited for HO, S, O, G, and other scales larger than N.
DanNowicki.Com - Smoken Hole
Hobbies - S scale street lights.
Shiloh Signals
- offers S scale signals including: searchlight signals,
color light signals, dwarf signals, position signals and grade crossing signals.They
offer signals for some major Eastern roads: NYC, PRR, B&O, N&W and
they do custom orders. A tip o' the hat for this recommendation
to Hilary Smith.
GML Enterprises
- manufacturer of electronic controls including throttles
in 3, 4 or 6 amps (6 amps are especially important for those AF lighted passenger
trains and others that draw high amperage.)
Erie

Includes "the Detective" circuit sensing device and "The Sentry" Crossing Signal
Flasher Circuit.
Des Plaines Hobbies
- S Scale signals to be offered by Oregon Rail Supply. The first

Target search light (left) and dwarf signal (right) by Tomar on Terry Harrison's NKP pike in Orlando, FL. The search light on the base measures to 15' 6" tall. Base is 3' thick. Terry made it out of wood and painted it cement gray. The ladder is only 1' wide though, a bit narrow for S but could easily be changed. |

Small Scale Railway Company
-- They mainly design and market digital sound units for
N and HO. But they will work in S as well. Also sell 3mm white LED sets (LED's,
resistors and diodes) for model loco headlights.
Kurtz-Kraft--manufactures excellent electronics for model
railroading. Throttles,modules for flashers and signals, sound systems, etc.
The best thing about this company is their low prices. Example - their TH-2B
DC hand held throttle is only $54.00 (as of 10/98) and can handle 6 amps. Their
AC throttle TH-7 is a great unit for AF fans. The TH-7 inclues a power unit
for only $90.00 (as of 10/98). So call or write and ask for a catolog.
K-LIGHT
Constant Lighting Modules--K-LIGHT are a electronic
module which provides constant brilliance of light for your passenger or freight
cars and caboose. No matter what speed you are running your train, your lights
will not dim or increase in brilliance like a standard lighted car.
