Pigeons and Model RRs: Operations with Lionel 450 Signal Bridge

Artemis the intrepid rescue pigeon appears to greatly enjoy the new Lionel 450 Signal Bridge I’ve recently installed on the layout.

Remember, folks, when operating the signal bridge and other Lionel accessories with a pigeon present on the layout, it’s important to follow proper safety and operational guidelines. Monitor the pigeon closely to prevent it from damaging wires or delicate components, and gently encourage it to leave using soft tools or treats if needed. After the pigeon has left, inspect the layout and signal bridge for any signs of damage or debris, clean and sanitize the area, and check for any loose parts that could interfere with future operations. These steps help ensure the safety of both the pigeon and your equipment.
