North American Signal "Action Lite" 4WF

[ex416]

Another unique light/beacon recently added to the collection. Been looking for one for a couple years and was well worth the wait. According to the badge it was made 5/78 and appears to have never been mounted. Just a flasher, but interesting none the less.

Very nice

The fact that it’s “just a flasher” makes it more unique and interesting in my opinion. Very nice addition to your collection.

found a video of a 4WF posted a while back by elb member kerry4951.

Personally, but I'd have each bulb wired to their own flasher, that way you create a very dynamic signal effect! I wonder if anyone has tried that here yet?

That's the way the McDonald Arneson 4 way flasher was set up.

Isn't that the same setup they use on the top of some trains??

i believe some locomotive beacons were set up with the four-way flash pattern. i know there were some set up with a singular advancement flash sequence.

Personally I find the use of four flashers to be overkill because you only see a maximum of two sealed beams att the time wherever you look.

I use two flashers on my Tripp-Lite QF-1 as Tripp-Lite suggests in their mounting instruction.

That way you have a random flash from the sealed beams you actually see.

Ken,

I didn't know you were looking! Had one for you the whole time!
