Yard Light Towers - In stock as of 22 February, 2024

Based on a common yard light tower design used by many railroads including the C&O, Reading, CSX, Conrail, BN, and UP. This 80 scale feet tall model is perfect for use in railroad yards and other industries. It can be used on steam through modern layouts. Many are still in service.

Available in HO and N scale.

Some of photos on this page show a small craft bead in the light fixture, but they are not included in the kit. 

Lighting these kits is simple. The etchings contain light fixtures that will house a standard white T1 3/4 LED. You can use the brass of the tower itself as the common wire, so you only need to run one other wire to light all the LEDs. If using LEDs, make sure you have a ballast resistor to avoid burning them out. Lights are not provided with the kit, but are available from numerous sources.

Materials:

Photoetched brass, laser cut acrylic pedestal

Dimensions (Approx):

L 12 in.  /  W 1 in.  / D 0.01 in. (HO Scale)
