Hey!

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.

Hey!

Hey there, I'm Ryan. I really don't know what to write, but here's a little about me. I was born in Columbus, Ohio and have lived here ever since. I have been facsinated with traffic signals as long as I can remember. In fact, when I was little I used to drive my parents crazy by making intersections in my house, when a doorway would meet the hallway, and I Would hang paper traffic signals I made from a string that went from wall to wall. Eventually, my mom hid the step-ladder so I couldn't hang my wires and signals. Currently, I only have two real traffic signals, and one pedestrian signal. I have a 12" McCain signal, which was supposed to be put into service in New York City, but never made it there. I have a 12" T/Con signal, which I bought off of EBay, and restored myself. Both incandescent signals. I am looking to buy new signals to restore. Well that is pretty much all, thanks to the Admin/s for accepting me!

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like you have an interesting, little collection.

Do you have pictures of the McCain traffic signal?

Yes I do! But I think I need to get signed up for photobucket to post them, right?

Thanks! And yes, it is my favorite type of 4-way signal. That, and SSC. They both have 'unique' designs.
