I absolutely love the look, durability, and functionality of the MTH no. 30-11025 O scale 1 over 1 signal when it’s paired with a magical MTH no. 45-1028 ITAD. I’ve purchased several signals for use in various locations on my layout. Trouble is, there are situations where I really only want a single searchlight target. That’s why I decided to morph the standard signal into three alternative versions—one with an upper target, one with a lower target, and another with two side-by-side targets.
I had to sacrifice the function of one target, but I wouldn’t have wired it for operation anyhow. For my next trick, I’m working to configure a signal with working bi-directional targets!

Encouraging-- look forward to CTT article on how you hooked up the signal system.

Just managed to reassemble a signal with opposing targets! Seems the lower target has a tad bit more wire slack than the upper target.
My scheme/wiring isn't complex -- two targets signals indicate nearest block occupation (Upper) and next block occupation (lower). I use terminal blocks and a daisy chain wiring scheme to link multiple signals/targets to a sole MTH ITAD.
