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.

I guess I never posted here... so I'll do it now.
Hello, my name is Bailey (I'm a guy), and I'm from Charlottesville. I'm interested in traffic lights, and basically all things relating to them. I have a website, based on Charlottesville's traffic lights, though it has a bit of everything (click here to view it). I know the basics of traffic lights, but that is not saying much here. :grin: The thing I know least about is the wiring.
I guess I'll be contributing some, but mostly asking questions.

As for signals I have, I've got an incandescent single-section Mark IV Eagle flashing unit with a new-ish red arrow Kopp Glass lens. I also have a green ball Kopp Glass lens, GE Brick style.
I'm not going to tell you my age... mostly because it would make me feel like I don't belong. :crazy: I'm probably younger then most of the people here (and Im not calling anyone old :Phil:). Out of curiosity, does anyone know who the youngest member here is?
(By the way, my username used to be ThePuffer)

Welcome to the forums, Bailey. You definitely have posted interesting threads within the past several days. I will continue to look forward to your threads and discussions.

There are a couple of members that are "young." I wouldn't know who is the youngest, though.

Welcome to the forum. I'm in the "old" end of the spectrum. Everyone is young to me but I think there is someone in 14 range. Interest is what counts and this is the place.

Welcome to the Forums. Like Joe said -- Interest in Traffic Stuff is the only requirement here. I started with signs and worked into signals, and through contacts here now have a fairly large collection (albeit a little disorganized :crazy: :crazy: )

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

When I joined this community I was the "kid" ...that was over 10 years ago now. :shock: Age doesn't matter...just need a genuine interest in signals to fit in here.
