Yes, The yellow ones are common. The red one I modified so the red would show. I need red and yellow one at my four intersections... I'm not real thrilled on the way they blink. I'll probably put regular bulbs in all of mine then use a flashing controller from, "lights To Go"... and make the red flash opposite of the yellow...

Thank You, Chops… I need to make 3 more red ones … Not too big of deal, pop the red lenses out, drill out the holes for the light to shine thru. Then paint the backside of the yellow lenses black...

Well, one of the interesting thing about your collection is
that you have more lights than anyone I know. John
Allen's G&D looked like it was lit like a Christmas tree,
but I since learned that the late Mr. Allen, who was
something on the order of a cross between DaVinci and
Michelangelo, used, per his account, 27 mirrors to
expand scenes and he also did a trick with "lit"
buildings using flourescent paint, so that when
black light was played on it they looked just
like the deal.

Yep, I have one that flashes yellow on my layout. I use it as a fire station signal, since I've often seen real fire stations be set up with traffic lights flashing yellow when normal (though there are a couple of fire stations here in Brockton MA with traffic lights that flash GREEN when normal!)

Yes, Wiley... These are really common but I modified one to bling red. I need to do 3 more red ones. I have about 18 of these traffic lights...😊
