[PRCo] Re: DustyNation Signs

[Jim Holland]

Beliebe it or not  --  """NoWhere__In__Particular"""    I~S   An  
Official  SF Muni destination sign  --  or it was.       It was on All 
The coaches and trolleycars when they had roll signs  --  don't know 
what they have programmed into the electronic signs  --  there are some 
doozies there as well.
.
SAN__FRANCISCO   can be displayed electronically  --  will have to look 
to see what else is there.     They Actually Use an old 8088 computer 
chip in our DVAS displays and It Takes ForEver for the signs to load 
form the Teens and Up.     Glad I work the 03-Jackson~!~!
.
For my SPTC Model collection I am using the Boston Pic Win PCCs as my 
1900 series with the first 25 cars as interurban - the other 75 cars 
city cars.     ~N~O~  ~~  I am not getting all 100  --  but Parents, 
Favorite Aunts Uncles and other Rellies  *_Birth__Year_*  will be 
Interurbans and The Birth Year for Sibs and I will be city cars.     My 
Personal Destination sign will be  *_Here__There_*  [over]  *_EveryWhere_*
