Why does this always happen to me??? Take a little road trip to deliver a handful of small (but heavy!) things to a friend out of state (because of an otherwise 'work trip' going to the same basic place) and in turn pick up a few things he's been holding for me.
Pic 1 went with me when I left home. The rest are how I'll be returning there...SOMEHOW, just a few more items than I was expecting are taking the ride too...several other small but fragile things will also be riding in the cab with our luggage... <groan>
There's actually a good bit of "good stuff" also in there not visible, but a few of the highlights include the fire hydrant and 4-way beacon traffic signal (pic 4) and yellow ELECTRO-MATIC signal controller cabinet. That last one has some **scarce** original parts inside, plus a 'parts machine' electromechanical controller, I have functional controller(s) for it already. The railroad stuff only partially visible includes nearly all the remaining parts I've been needing to build my own RxR crossing signal setup in my backyard -- turns out its gonna be a subset of such things known as a "Buckeye Crossing" (specific to the state of Ohio) due to the particular signage, mostly the large red one with the wonderful graffiti.
OH YES, there's more -- lots of cool electric insulators (and a full crossbar rack to hold some of 'em) and another light-up toy or two, a whole buncha blinkie-clickie-electrical boxes of all (mostly specific) kinds, a wonderful little piece of antique stained glass, plus plus plus...not to mention the possibility of anything *else* falling in there with it all before I retreat to safety with it...? <LOLOL>
AIN'T ROAD-TRIPS **FUN**??!!
Looks like a deal where both sides are happy. I want a RR crossing sign to put by the street. We have no railroad in SXM.
