Product Description
BLMA 4050 HO Searchlight Block Signal - Dual Heads w/Large Base, Platform Ladder (Lighted & Assembled)
Prototype History:
Searchlight Signals have long been an icon of American railroading. For over a century, Searchlights have governed miles upon miles of rail lines all over the US. Arguably the most famous signal design - the Union Switch and Signal H-2 - has served class 1 railroads in all corners of the country, and continues to do so today.
The prototype for this specific signal is located on the Union Pacific's LA&SL Route that travels between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, among other points. This signal is in use today at the East end of Afton Canyon at a location known as Basin, where it governs entrance into a siding and the block ahead.
Model Information:
With the introduction of our popular modern signal line, we went back to the drawing boards to produce the finest Searchlight EVER offered in HO Scale. While other companies use a bi-color LED in an oversized head, our all new H2 Searchlights feature THREE SEPARATE LED's per head - yielding true and vibrant Red, Yellow, and Green aspects! Finally, a TRUE YELLOW! Furthermore, this design simplifies installation.
