Signals, Signals, and more signals.

Hi all,

So, I'm back to the whole signal debacle with my route. I'd like to streamline down the signals on my route to a couple of providers, but I need to keep them compatible with each other. The route is a mix of Tri-Light (Type G) and SafeTrans signals. I'd like to keep them as similar as possible. I really like the design and visibility the RCAP offers but they don't offer the aspects I need. Of the unique aspects I'm looking for I have a couple from some other routes that offer them. There's a 2 over 2 offered from the Tehachapi pass route (I think) but it's only for a mast mount. I'd need it in a gantry form. Is there a way to hide the placard so that I can Gantry mount it? I also am looking for a 1 over 1 over 3 signals for a few spots as well. I only see 1 over 2 over 3 or 3 over 1 over 3 or a mix of them but none with 1 over 1 over 3. If anyone has any insight or suggestions, please let me know.

Any help is appreciated as always.

Thanks!

Ken

If you were to keep with the RCAP signals, which aspects do you need and for which signal set? The RCAP signal scripts are not compiled, so they can be edited. I played around with this a number of years back, trying to get an advanced approach (flashing yellow) to work with the Griswold signal head on a mast.
