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.

Yep, still in same spot. A bit dusty now. LOL. I will be getting into my garage atic where there are boxes and boxes of stuff. I hope to post that stuff as I pull it out. I bought out a signal contractor in 2004 or 2005 and never had a chance to go through it. I know there are at least 5 Econolite EM's there and several NIB 3M 131's. Boxes of 170 stuff. New Peds and tons of hardware. This is a very heavy 170 environment here so TS1 stuff is probably not in there. I know that I saw a box of 170 type 210 CM's. I think at least 10. I have literally hundreds of reflectors and plastic lenses since it was a time when LEDS were being installed. My guess is they Are mostly CH since 90% of the signals here are CH. I am diving in this weekend. Hopefully I find some good stuff.

Yep CH 4 way was $75 at a antique shop in Albany in early 90's. A lot of my old stuff came from that era when you couldn't give this stuff away.

I don't know if I have more than John. I don't really think of it that way. I will say this though, His collection is certainly very impressive. I hope one day to display mine like he has his displayed.

.Do you guys remember"Manofwords"(Ebay screen name and a member of the old signal group)?


I do remember that name and think a few of my toys came from that direction.
