12 volt "School bus " flasher will work, just change the bulbs and use a
transformer. Heavy Duty, obviously. Any "flip-flop" flasher will work. 18
bucks might be cheap. Easy, likely not.

While not "S" this is model RR related. A friend of my wife gave me what
looks like a home or kit built crossing signal with 2 flashing lights. It is
about 7' tall and runs on 110 Volts. This is the kind of thing you might
put outside your house when you were going to host a meeting or open house.
It could also be an attention getter @ a display @ a mrr show. The lights
flashing is controlled by a "winker" plug that is plugged into each light's
feeder cord.
The problem is that the blinking of the lights is not synchronized but
rather one flashes faster than the other. I'm looking for a gizmo I can plug
the power cord into that will cause the lights to blink alternately like the
real RR/road signals do.
I have tried several electrical suppliers and hobby shops and they all say
"Hmmmm-sounds good but don't know where you would get such an item." The
closest I've come is an $ 18.00 item at a hobby shop that works on 12-18
volts and I need 110. Surely somewhere ...
Help appreciated
