RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

Signals at the BSME
Baltimore Society of Model Engineers
in downtown Baltimore MD
 

The BSME has a lot of "stuff" in their collection, but most noteworthy, at least for the signal fan, is a dwarf semaphore, which they have rigged up with a switch to change aspects.  They also have a few coach lanterns hanging around. 

           
The semaphore... it usually greets visitors on a landing halfway up to the layout floor.  Notice it was originally set up to use an oil lamp for illumination.
