[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

Sorry, Ed  --  wasn't specific enough  --  have seen it referred to as 
Hokey or  Hillbilly  --  Yes, have definitely seen the graphic layout of 
the signal system.       I have the original  PERC  workup of West Penn 
on glossy in addition to the PRMA and CERA books.

Gonna keep your feet on the ground for a while now?!?!?!
