Wanting to make myself some signals that I could control with a remote I came up with this. I wanted one side to be green and the other red and swap direction when I pressed a button. I could take the remote with me and when I change direction on the reversing loop I can change the signals to give me green.

| Waterproof red and green 0-36v LEDs attached to Pill containers with the LID from a larger clear container glued together. |
 |
| Attached with old hose clamps, metal strip from shelving and a trusty old steel pipe that was not long enough but will do. Finally topped off with green primer. Will finally paint it black when I 3d print a face plate for the light shroud. |
 |
| Mounted into position, green cat 6 cable serving as the power bus now screwed & wired in. |
The relay receiver box and crossing speaker module in plastic bins in case it floods. The 12v Bus runs from the hotel solar and runs to the dairy to the modules and then off to the signals. Orange & Orange/white cores are wired together and is 12v Positive and same for Brown & Brown/white cores being 12v Negative.

| Top floor of the hotel, its cheap but you will be tripping over cables and batteries. Wired in parallel to keep it at 12v and can be expanded with more batteries as I add more stuff to the system. |
 |
| Point signals installed and wired in, sensor pad behind not linked into the point yet but almost. |
Video of the signals & crossing bell in operation.  |
| Solar panel resting against blue tarp is wired into the batteries, still unsure on its position. |
 |
| The green building & water tower inspired the recent builds and alleytown, scaled to the classic barbie dolls |
 |
| The remote radio range can reach the top of the Fort so no issues with changing signal direction anywhere on the loop. With any luck the battery bank holds up till morning. |
