L&N Railroad GRS SA Searchlights
L&N Railroad Signal system has been out of service for more than 10yrs. One day we went down to check what was left of the signal system. We found that the Mechs have been taken out and that people have been shooting at the signals. We found two dwarfs, and both have the lenses broke and hoods stolen. This is some of what is left on the L&N.

Heres some signals we had to walk to, it was not very good in the small towns because people were messing with the signals so we figured some in the middle of nowhere would be better. Heres the paint setup. Silver to the bottom of the background then it all goes to black.
