History
The 450 Signal Bridge is based upon real-life two-track mainline signals frequently
seen in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. It is a reliable accessory and
commonly seen on any Lionel layout. Since most 450s were used -- or mounted
to -- table-top train layouts, they are usually found in less than collectable condition.
Features
Standard features of the 450 Signal Bridge include: black painted metal structure,
two gray plastic base supports and two 450 signal light head. Each 450 signal consists
of a die-cast base, one red and one green light, a plastic slide-on housing
cover and wires extending from the rear.
