Why this accessory matters
Searchlight signals are widely used in model railways to represent modern and transitional signalling systems. A dual-head branch configuration improves operational realism by clearly indicating route status at junctions and controlled sections of track.
This accessory helps add depth and authenticity to layouts where signalling logic and train movement control are important.
How to use it
Position the signal beside the appropriate track section, typically near junctions or controlled blocks. If your version is powered, connect it according to your layout’s accessory power system or control module. Ensure correct alignment with train direction for accurate visual indication.
