Nice video. I'm trying to catch up on all the O gauge videos on KZbin. Those signals are excellent looking. To keep them prototypical, put the number boards on all of the intermediate signals. Without them, it denotes an absolute signal. Also, the advance signal coming into the cp or interlocking needs two signal heads if there will be the ability to cross over in that direction. I'm sure that you probably know this already, but some other viewers may not.

Jason Thank you for your segment on the Review about your new Track Signal. What I would like to know first of all is The Locomotives in your Inventory will you program the Consist or (The Load) to stop and go at each Block Signal or will the block signal stop the train when it comes up to the signal? Like a Automobile stopping at a red light and waiting for the signal to turn Green to proceed on through. Am I Right? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan Martinez
