The signal head was mounted to the side of the mast. Which side depended on
what kind of signal and other situations, though they preferred the light on
side away from the track, I think. The ladder came up directly behind the mast
and opened up into a platform below and behind the signal head for the signal
maintainer to get at the light. There was a brace about half way down off the
back of the mast to stabilize the ladder.
I've looked at using the Oregon kits for CP signals, and the first thing you
need to do is throw away the instructions. Almost everything needs to be
modified to make it look similar to a CP signal. It can be done, but it's a
serious kitbash.

Guys i have the CP drawings for single, double and tripple signal lights.Not
an engineer and its not easy reading them.I am using the measurements with
oregon kits. My question is the single target is used on a 12 or 16 ft
mast................when do you use one or the other? Second question 50
through mid 60s what colour would the signal lights be
painted.............black , silver or silver with black targets????. Bases
would they be on a concrete pad? Lastly the ladders are they positioned
behind the target or off to the side??. Sorry for the loaded question but
since i have the technical drawings i may as well do them up best as i can.
Should be a nice project.Thanks Steve
