That's an awesome tip using magnets for track side signs. Wonder if it will work for working signals? Just have extra wire  to prevent breakage?

That is a cheap and effective way to anchor a lot of things that would be vulnerable.

Really liked the magnets idea, and the road bed discussion. As always lots of good stuff in the article.

Thanks for quoting me in the article.  This makes subscibers such as my self be less of a "reader" and more of a "participant" in the overall content of this publication.  Cudos on the magnet tip.  Next on my list of to do's now!  As always, best model RR mag out there. 

Ditto - it's neat to 'participate' in a magazine's publication... and to see that publication 'evolve' as readers contribute feedback to each article!

And darn if that magnet idea isn't pretty cool!

Awesome Article really shows how different methods result in lower sound volumes 

Not only for railroad crossing signs! It would also work for telegraph poles, street lighting, and the stupid billboard that I'm always knocking over!
