Why this accessory matters
Ground signals are essential for managing low-speed movements within yards where multiple tracks converge and diverge. A bi-directional configuration allows more realistic control of shunting operations, improving both operational logic and visual authenticity.
This type of signal helps replicate real-world yard procedures, where clear instructions are needed for safe switching and train assembly.
How to use it
Place the signal at yard entry points, siding junctions, or within freight terminals where train movements need controlled direction. If the model includes lighting or wiring, connect it to your layout’s accessory power or control system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
