Greetings from central Ohio!

This is the new member sandbox. Until you post a little something about yourself here, you don't get to play on the rest of the board. So tell us a little something about yourself and your signals.

Greetings from central Ohio!

Hi everyone,
My name's Jim S. and I'm in Reynoldsburg, Ohio (an eastern suburb of Columbus). Thank you for the opportunity to join the group. I don't have much of a collection yet, but it's growing. I currently have a 12" yellow DuraSig (used), an 8" yellow/black visor DuraSig (never used on street), and an LED pedestrian signal with countdown (unknown).

Besides traffic signals, I'm interested in highway history and signage, railroads (both "real" and model), and playing pinball. I also like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain...oh wait, wrong forum ;)

I look forward to reading and discussing!
Jim

Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

Welcome Jim, I think you will find many sources of information here, a bunch of them in your own backyard.

Hey Jim -
Good to hear from you. I'm also a road-geek (more on old ROWs and routes than simply signage), and am big into Pinball as well. :thumbsup:

Rupert Holmes. Great musician and composer. His song is quite catchy.




Anyway, welcome to the forums, Jim. Nice to meet you.

Thanks everyone!

Coyttl, "road-geek" is something I accidentally left off the list. The road less traveled always pleases (unless it's deteriorated to the point of being impassable ;) ).
