    NJ international signals

    Cab, I'd bet my next pension check that NJ International didn't do that wiring job. I'd bet some one with not much experience did it. There is a wire #32 I believe that is somewhat thicker than carpet thread, that most of us that build, rewire or assemble our own signals normally use. If any...
