London's museum looks cool very. :thumbsup:

Rome looks all poly, Even the 12" or 300mm RED!
Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

I visited London in 1985, and there was an "upgrade" happening. Some really cool, ornate street lights were being replaced with some very ordinary straight pole modern things. I wonder if any of those are on display as well.

Wouldn't mind having one of those 8's with the 12" adapter!

Please ignore the road markings at the crossing in the TfL museum, they should be zig-zag marks either side of the crossing... :lol:

Ye olde faithful Peek Elite heads run of a PEEK TRX I believe, also running the 4-way setup in the shop. They also have a shodily made replica tin lantern at the museum.

I also like the 12" adapters on the Roman lanterns, very intersting indeed.

Hi!

I'm Sergio, a collector from Italy. Italian traffic lights that represented in the photos are SCAE (one of the leading brands), and Helios. Polycarbonate. :wave:
