Use RED push pins for a flag and they work good
sjh


One other thing, a lighted fusee would protect your
hind end. That covered a mulitude of sins, but it hard
to model.


This conversation has given me a rather cute idea that I might incorporate into 
my next layout, since it's to be a switching pike with virtually all visible 
trackage in yard limits -

How about drilling tiny sockets into the roadbed at the appropriate points - 
there really aren't that many of them on the average track plan - and wire them 
up to a couple of D-cell batteries in parallel. Then, when you need a "fusee", 
stick the legs of a red LED into the sockets!

If you pick the tiniest ones you can find at reasonable price, and sand the 
"buttons" to keep the light from beaming in one direction, it should look 
rather nice!

Marshall Thayer - who can solve problems people don't even know they have <LOL>!
