Since I'll have to tackle this once I complete the layout, I'll tell you
what little I know. Oregon Rail Supply makes the DL&W-style 2-aspect signal
heads, so if you're modeling former DL&W lines, that's where to get them.
They also make Erie-style searchlight signals as well. I think they're in
the Walthers catalog?

They also have a website that hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but
it's a good reference:
