    Still super jealous of your setup!

      Hey, thanks! I’d say the same about yours! I was gonna ask when you were posting again but I just saw your update!

    Love the variety here! You’ve got several Advanced Arrows, several multi-directional signals, a doghouse with a flashing yellow arrow, a flashing yellow LEFT arrow signal, a rare two-aspect signal with an always-on green ball and a bicolor left arrow that comes on when necessary, a four-way flashing signal, a pedestrian signal with a countdown timer that flashes in time with the hand, a tram signal, and lots more! Truly an incredible setup right here!
    I particularly like the signal at 8:03 - it’s a very unique setup that I have NEVER seen until now! A standard red ball-yellow ball-green diagonal arrow setup on top, with a bicolor left arrow beneath it, and a dedicated red left arrow beneath that! From what I can tell, the purpose of that red arrow is to stop left-hand traffic only while allowing forward traffic to continue, since switching on the red ball to stop left-hand traffic would actually stop ALL traffic instead. And it’s even programmed to shut off when the yellow ball comes on, as the red ball will take over and initiate a full traffic stop shortly, so it’s not needed anymore. It’s a signal for a very niche situation-but one that’s well-designed and actually quite cool-looking!

    Ive waited ages for this epic garage collection and I also noticed the UK style led button tone/sound has been changed and a few other controllers

    Amazing, I love those Cobalt controllers also, I've never seen a pedestrian signal like those 18:04 wow!

    Have you had the chance to work with the EOS Cobalts yet?
    I've found some logic statements don't work the same as they did with ASC3 and Cobalts. Threw me through a loop.

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I’ve been learning that recently. I just switched to EOS for all of our new Cobalt’s and it’s definitely a learning curve. Compatibility mode is gone so I’m trying out No Serve and moving around the ring structure to replicate what I had done with my ASC/3 Cobalt’s. We have some diamond interchanges with pretty complex phasing where I need to essentially relearn how to set up my ring structure and what my logic statements should say.
      I’ll likely have all my Cobalt’s upgraded to EOS eventually because I do like the new features and the architecture of the software but a lot of it is new to me since I can program an ASC/3 in my sleep.

      i really like the canadian walk signals but ive noticed they're slowly being replaced with american-looking ones for whatever reason in my city :( do municipalities auction off decommissioned signs and signals somewhere? where? if you dont mind me asking.. i wanna buy one of those from anywhere before they eventually become rare (if they're being replaced everywhere and not just my city, im not sure as canadian mutcd isn't free to read like the american one)

      also do you have any videos showing off your signs? i just found your channel last night but you have a loot of videos lol,,these kinds of things have been one of my special fixations for a few years now and ive always assumed i was probably the only one into this extremely niche thing, glad im not !!
