Noob From PA

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 all!

I found this site, thanks to a search while looking for info on a light I am restoring.

About 5 years ago, we built a detached garage in my backyard. I figured I finally found a good home for the traffic signal I've been storing for 20 years.

It's an Eaglelux, and I'm told it's from about 1940. It was saved from being trashed after being removed from service in Cape May Courthouse, NJ. It started as 3 full signals on a pole mounted pipe arrangement. I plan to make one good three lamp signal from all the parts. I've done auto restoration for years and have a blast cabinet which is coming in handy.

EDIT: I somehow missed the post above about what to write here...so I'll add a bit.

My name is Matt M, and I'm in Bucks County, PA. I operate a small firm that produces TV commercials, radio commercials, large scale print, web design...

I'm also involved in a country music band for fun as the frontman/lead guitar. I also am a car nut. I'm the local President of my car club and a national vice chair.

Back to signals. I only have the one, and it's currently apart for restoration. I'll get some pics together and post 'em.

Greetings from the New Jersey shore, Matt.

Langhorne is roughly one hour away from where I am here in New Jersey. Glad you came across the forums. There are a couple of members here that live near you. Perhaps you should join a local Pennsylvania gathering one day.
