Alpha Mimic Ground Signals

A pack of 12 x 2-lamp plug and play US / International HO prototype Ground signals. Supplied complete with accessories, installation adapters and the drill needed for the adapters, but without the digital Mimic Control PCB.

The DCD-GS-US is a simple design 2-lamp ground signal – the prototype for this signal dates from pre-WW2 but has not changed significantly since then. It is commonly used in the USA and other places outside Europe and the UK, especially Australia and New Zealand. Because of this, it has been made in HO scale.

In addition to its world-wide prototype use, it is also a great choice of “indicator signal” for those with large storage or fiddle yards, with a clear “Red-Green” indication of track access. Even better, for staging yards it can be mounted high so it can be seen over the locomotives.

We now also include a set of simple, easy to use mounting adapters AND the required drill with every pack of ground signals: This makes installation extremely easy – Just decide where you will install the signal, using the drill supplied to create a 14mm (9/16″) hole in the baseboard, install the adapter and then insert the signal.

The signal base matches our new adapter perfectly, so the installation is now complete.

All you need do now is connect the signal then paint, weather and Ballast the area as desired. Use these signals as an add-on for Alpha Mimic control signal systems OR use independently if you wish. Please note: If used with power sources other than an Alpha Mimic control board, resistors MUST be added – a selection of resistor values are INCLUDED with this 12-pack. Note: Failures because of incorrect connection are not covered by warranty.
