Title: Anyone into Railroadiana?
Post by: DB26 on April 21, 2022, 03:24:37 PM

I tried posting this in the hobbies section and it didn’t do so well. Maybe here?

I’ve done a google search and didn’t quite find what I was looking for. Is there an online community that deals in railroad equipment and the like? I’ve been getting into collecting railroad items lately. OfferUp isn’t that great and I have been wanting an old Union Switch and Signal CO’s relay. A model 15 Vane relay to be exact. Maybe since this forum has electronics wizards, some of you may own old railway electrics? eBay has some but not what I’m looking for. I’m located in Southern California. Willing to ship. Zip 91745.

I want to set up a small track signal circuit at home. Only about 8 feet worth. I’m going off of the system used locally by the Pacific Electric Railway Red Cars. They used the model 15 on their signals.

Never heard of that word!
But, I'm on a Facebook page for abandon railroads. I'm sure there's another page just for RR equipment. https://www.facebook.com/groups/abandonedrails/about (https://www.facebook.com/groups/abandonedrails/about)
