I already posted these pics on the Lionel forum but it seemed appropriate to post it here as well

I picked this up at a Tag sale and never heard of this brand

Years ago I had aquired as set of signals by Takara of Japan Sadly I had to sell them and twenty yesars later still have not seen any hence inventive to buy this


At any rate anyone reconize the store tag nand thoughts on how to hook them up?

thesiding,
You plan to use them? AND they are brass construction, for the price shown, you stole those!

Normally you ground the frame or "structure" of the signal to the "hot" or "cold" wire, and then the opposite of the polarity is to the loose strands come in to light each individual signal light.

I'm not 100% sure of this as its been a REALLY long time since I've wired up a Silvine singal!

Hey this was made before I was born and were part of a large lot still going through check the Lionel forum for HO set

The price was back in the fifties sixties whenever they were made just wondering if anyone knew what store

The Takaras I had had a Great Eatern Mills tag on them even I remember that store before they closed

well its still AWESOME! They for what they are, were very nicely made.....I have never seen the whole line of Silvine signals but those I have, were top of the line back then, and I think even today they go for a good buck! Only way to beat their looks is straight brass by OMI or the like!
