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

City and State in Which You Reside:
Columbus, Ohio

Occupation:
Student

Why Did You Want to Join This Forum?
I've had a lifelong fascination with road signage and traffic control, and over the past year or so that fascination has shifted towards traffic signals. I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic yet, so I thought joining a forum to talk to other collectors would be a good way to learn more.

My collection thus far consists of only one signal; a 12" Eagle Mark IV with GE LED units.

Link to Current Collection Website or Photos:
I don't have anything available online currently, because my collection thus far consists only of one signal...

Other Interests:
Traffic signage and traffic control in general. I keep an online album featuring photos I've shot of various signs and road scenes, though it's not as extensive as some.

Non-transportation-related interests include retail and grocery stores (I photograph those as well, though I don't yet have an online album compiled) and children's cartoons. I'm especially fond of The Powerpuff Girls and the latest generation of My Little Pony. (The two shows, surprisingly, share several writers and crew members.)

Welcome Alice, you'll find plenty of company there in OH along with many areas with older signal equipment in operation.
