Jamie, Not far behind you with Model Memories signals and bi-color LED's. However, my odyssey began with researching NYC signals so I would know which ones and how many to order for intended track plan.
Signals are confusing. Everyone knows alittle. Some know alot. However, even those who know alot often only know current rules. I found differences between 1937 rule book and 1956 rulebook. When you see earlier rulebooks, signals tend to be more intuitive. For example, NYC offset two head block signals, top aspect was for home signal & bottom aspect for distant block signal (or constantly lit red). This is lost on those who have memorized modern rules, but helps immensely when figuring out what signals to order and in what colors for modeling post WWII Hudson Divison. Best description of RR signals I've read is an ancient Kalmbach publication "ALL ABOUT SIGNALS" by John Armstrong (a reprint of articles from June & July 1957 Trains magazine). Dennis H.
