[PRCo] Re: car stop sign available

[Bob Rathke]

$40 is a good price.  I still have the Car Stop sign that I bought at the
PTM gift shop in 1966 when they were selling excess PRC/PAT items.

I also bought a motorman's dashboard switch panel with labels for the
switches - "Fare Reg.," "Gong," "Sander," etc.  I think it came from a 1200
PCC, but it also has a label for a "Horn" switch - which low-series PCC had
horns?  However, I still use it as a (very large) paperweight.
