TCT signal with 12" lenses
|
 |
This is the second large traffic light that I own with 12" lenses. This one came with two metal
arrow "templates" that insert behind the lenses to make a regular lens into an arrow lens. The only
one I have installed is the one behind the green lens. When I purchased this light, it had black doors
with a yellow body. The body was faded and I wanted the whole light to be one color, so I painted the
entire light yellow. This one did not come with the visors, so I purchased them separately from my resource
Traffic Parts. The yellow visors match the body perfectly.

2-way Eagle Mark IV w/ped heads
Pic on the left: This set up is made up of 2 eight
inch Eagle Mark IV heads and one ICC ped head facing the left, and an Econolite ped head that is lit
up with the walk indication. As you can see, the 8" head facing you has three 8" LED's made by Dialight.
The red has a tinted lens and the yellow and green are clear lenses. The post, heads and hardware were
all purchased through the web site called Twin Green. The P-10 timer is located in the junction box
at the base for easy access.
Pic on the right: Different angle of the same set up. This side
displays regular lenses on the traffic light and the ped head is an ICC and displays the don't walk indication.

The four photos above are of my "mini-intersection". This is an Econolite with 8" lenses that
was in rough shape when I got it. It was a drab olive green and dirty inside. I hosed it down and let
it dry, then painted it a hunter green. It turned out better than I thought. It was tough hanging it
up as I did most of it myself. I put an outdoor sealant around the hanger at the top of the light just
to make sure the weather stays out; something I learned from the traffic department in my city. I put
the timer in the yellow section to keep the weather away from the timer.
I also have a street
sign with my name on it attached to the top of a stop sign. I know that a stop sign usually doesn't
go right after a red light, but it works well for display purposes.

Crouse-Hinds 4-way Beacon
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Here is my Crouse-Hinds 4-way beacon signal. This model from what I have been told is a bit later
than my Crouse-Hinds 3 section 4-way. Note the hinges on the doors instead of the lever latches. This
signal was used as a shooting target when it was in service as you can see from a few pictures that follow.

Here is a view of the inside after I took all the guts out of the beacon to restore and replace the
old wiring. As you can see in the other photo below, a couple of the reflectors are in rough shape.

Note the hole in the door and the body. I may see about getting some kind of car body filler to repair
the holes.
