IRT Bronx Express

This is a tutorial on how you should request your sign, to make everyone's lives easier and simple. It is not my obligation to assume how you want your sign to look like. Unless you don't mind me choosing for you and not correcting it afterwards, then you must specify how you want your sign to look like. I don't care if your requests include fictional routes, former *existing* routes ( ), rerouted routes, planned routes ( ), etc. as long as it's not beyond foam ( to Coney Island). I accept to Coney Island, via Culver, to Jamaica Center because it's possible in real life (it just won't happen, however). Please take a look here to see what signs are available for requests. Choosing the type of sign Let's start with the LCD sign first. The bullets are just personal additions, but you can request the small LCD with no bullets if it merits you. Two color variants exist (original and gray), so you have variety. What's even better is that double letters/numbers are only possible for this exterior sign only! Perhaps you don't like the outdated LCD signs... there's the mosaic and commuter LCDs. They look similar, but the letter designs are different! And no dots are used at all. Maybe they don't appeal to you... but there's always the NTT LEDs and there are 4 variants! If you want to stick with realism, then request the original. If you like large sign readings, then the extended sign is for you. If you like bus signs so much, then you can request the modified LEDs, designed to look like flipdot and horizon signs (only luminator fonts will be used). What about the interior signs? The int. LCD has two color variants (obvious). There are 2 int. LED signs: R142/A and R143/160. (obvious, and the letters are different) As an added bonus, double letters/numbers are possible for all interior signs! I chose the sign type. Now what? You decide the sign reading. Exterior Central Park West/6 Ave Express 4 Ave Express/West End Local To Coney Island - Stillwell Ave/Bklyn Depending on the type of sign you choose, I might shorten the reading or split the readings in 2 different frames. EX: Washington Hts W. 168 St You can choose Express/Local over EXP/LCL and vice versa. "Via/To", "ST/ND/RD/TH", and "BX/MANHTN/QNS/BKLYN" are personal aditions, so if you want them or not, just say it. Interior This is Brooklyn Bridge To New Lots Ave The next stop is Wall St 11:54 A.M. Jul 14, 2010 Same as above, long readings will be condensed or split in half. "Jul 14, 2010" is another addition, so you can pick the time, date, or both. Please limit the amount of frames to 8 as it's tedious to produce more than 8. Also, multi-colored signs are optional, so if you want to stick with the original colors as seen in real life, then that's not a problem. I might edit later, but that's all for now. Questions, ask.

This is why I personally believe that both of you are brothers, if not, half brothers. Both of you are criticizing each other with the power of words.

I'm feeling a little bit mixed about iO now. The new Samsung HD digital box is a hell lot better than I thought. The HD channels are sharp-looking (little pixelation, but better than the Scientific HD box) and is on par with the HD DVR. Two issues; it freezes too much if i use the menu/options and it takes forever to change a channel. Also, all of a sudden, they started offering 3 new packages (just found out about it recently... lol): iO Economy, iO Value, and iO Preferred, while altering the iO Gold and Silver packages. My mom will downgrade to Economy b/c I don't give a hoot about most of the channels at all. That's a $20-25 difference, and it's worth it.

Big thanks to those that are keeping this thread active. I want to apologize for the unnecessary, overdue sign you requested months ago. I don't know if it's supposed to be or , but you can choose whichever merits you. I forgot to mention that the yellow-style LED was discontinued because it was underutilized and way too bright. The "EXP" was removed as it was hard to read when resized. Yep, it's going to remain that way until I finish revamping the Luminator fonts (check the Animated Luminator Signs thread for more info). And to finish off, I produced this sign last night. Until next time.

Good to see this thread seeing some activity after a long time. Now VG8 can't complain anymore. Double numbers aren't possible at this time, so I changed it to . More to come next time.

I still have tomorrow and Sunday... I don't count Fridays as a weekend, so there's your answer.

Introducing... R142S Commuter LCD: What do you think?

All requests accepted. I'll be sure to produce more signs this weekend, so stay tuned.
