'89 Liberty MCI Posted March 16, 2011 Share #278 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) For the Bx12 SBS Artics, the X is the same size as the B for some reason... B) In addition to what 711 mentioned, I would like to see clear close-up shots of the titan signs because it will make my job really easier and less stressful. For those that decide to help me out, er.. I'll think of a prize/reward? Hopefully my friend has a NG tomorrow. I will take close-up pictures of that sign with a few different destinations. I also hope that I didn't come off like I disregarded etiquette in the other thread. That was not my intention. Anyway I'll get the help and have it ready by Friday. If you or CI want me to post my bus sign request here so that everything is in the same place I will. Then I'll also delete the original one that I posted in the train thread by mistake.

3rd Avenue El Posted March 17, 2011 Share #279 Posted March 17, 2011 i would like to make a request: new flyer d60hfl bx11 west farms bx11 via west farms road bx11 via 170th street thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 17, 2011 Share #280 Posted March 17, 2011 Sign request please (Orion 5 Luminator green, give it the scroll feature): S56|CHARLESTON (takes up the entire sign) S56|VIA WOODROW RD (takes up the top half) S56|VIA LUTEN/AMBOY (takes up the bottom half) One tip: for the "via Woodrow" and "via Luten/Amboy", make the font sizes thin and light, whereas normally the readings are thick, or bolded, give these two a light reading. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJokaPlaya Posted March 23, 2011 Share #281 Posted March 23, 2011 I have to say, I'm impressed by all of the sign skills by the artists. Very nice. I have a question: Is the sign request only MTA NY Bus signs or could I request a NJT Sign from my all time favorite bus route that I drove when I was working at NJ Transit? Thanks in advance for reading this and God Bless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted March 23, 2011 Share #282 Posted March 23, 2011 NJT does use Luminators, so you shouldn't have a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJokaPlaya Posted March 23, 2011 Share #283 Posted March 23, 2011 Oh ok. I just wanted to make sure I'm not breaking any rules.

BRIDGE (on top) 188| BUS STATION (on bottom) 188| via RIVER ROAD (on top) 188| EDGEWATER (on bottom) 188| EDGEWATER (On Top) 188| COMMONS (On Bottom) SIRJOKAPLAYA (Centered At the End) Sign 2: 188| WEST NEW YORK (Use Entire Area, if not, West on top and NY on bottom) 188| 61st STREET (on Top) 188| & KENNEDY BLVD.

RTS CNG Command Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share #285 Posted March 23, 2011 Yikes. I hope I didn't kill it in here!*laugh* No, you didn't kill anything. You brought out ideas, so hopefully, one of us can fulfill your request. (I can't quite yet due to severe time restraints, but someone else possibly can.) I also hope that I didn't come off like I disregarded etiquette in the other thread. That was not my intention. Anyway I'll get the help and have it ready by Friday. If you or CI want me to post my bus sign request here so that everything is in the same place I will. Then I'll also delete the original one that I posted in the train thread by mistake. No, you didn't disregard etiquette at all. In fact, I'm glad you replied here, 'cause this thread was piling up some dust. Post it whenever you can, but keep the old one, too, so we can compare both versions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'89 Liberty MCI Posted March 25, 2011 Share #287 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Alright. I took many pictures of the NG sign, the text of which is probably identical to the LFSA sign. I'll link and describe each linked picture since it'll be too many pictures to view in the thread. Tomorrow or Saturday since I'm quite busy. We all know for sure that the X as in BX12 is uppercase on the LFSA sign, setting it apart from the Bx12 sign on a NG. Question now is if M15 or B44 on a LFSA is different from a NG sign. Now then. I would like this one LFSA style. Of course take your time, whoever gets around to it. If I get time I may even get into this myself. If I do, I'll let you all know and then I'll create requested signs. B44 +SELECT BUS SERVICE+ B44 LOWER E. SIDE GRAND ST STA B44 via NOSTRAND/ROGERS AVS via DELANCEY ST (try via NOSTRAND/ROGERS, via NOSTRND/ROGRS AVS, via NOSTRND/ROGERS, via NOSTRND/ROGRS in that order if the original doesn't work) and B44 +SELECT BUS SERVICE+ B44 SHEEPSHEAD BAY KNAPP ST B44 via DELANCEY ST via NOSTRAND AV Edited March 25, 2011 by '89 Liberty MCI Technicality. "LOWER E. SIDE" not "LOWER EAST SIDE". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted March 27, 2011 Share #288 Posted March 27, 2011 Here you go. 21 pictures of the NG sign are in an album I created. As I said before the text portion is the same on a LFSA. I am 99% certain, and you could hold me to it, that the route portion is also the same. The only conceivable difference is Bx12 vs. BX12. So I am 99% certain the NG and LFSA signs are the same size as well. So knock yourselves out. I have most of the letters of the alphabet in small, medium, and large sizes. Some pictures are shaky but I think it's still clear how many dots are lit up in all of them. Any questions, ask away. http://s1105.photobucket.com/albums/h349/bcd62092/ I made some mistakes like I thought that the NGs had all of their readings updated so instead of "RIV PK TWR via TREMNT" in large text it would have given me "RIVER PARK TOWERS via TREMONT AV" in medium text. But only some readings were dealt with like "via NOSTRAND AV" instead of the "via NOSTRND" nonsense. Some readings like River Park Towers still give you the gibberish abbreviations. My false notion that "S53 PT RICHMOND" would now be "S53 PORT RICHMOND" was also debunked. But I think there's enough to work with to make the better reading. I don't have a medium text P or M but I have the other medium text letters for that reading along with lots of other medium text letters. You could just the P by taking the stem off the medium R. The medium M looks hard. A Q56 reading would do it (they all say "via JAMAICA AV" and should really be in medium text on a NG) so I'll see if I can obtain one soon. I know code 5560 or 5561 will give it to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted March 27, 2011 Share #289 Posted March 27, 2011 Okay. I know that I haven't been on here for quite awhile, but the pics that you ('89 Liberty MCI) provided will definitely help out. I will get to it if my free time today allows it, but I can't make any promises. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'89 Liberty MCI Posted April 1, 2011 Share #294 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) http://s1105.photobucket.com/albums/h349/bcd62092/ If you go back to my album again now, you will find 15 more readings and more characters to mess around with. Some noteworthy new characters include the medium W, medium 5, 6, and 9. I noticed that the so-called medium characters (used in "5AV/BWAY", "96 ST - #6" for example) are actually the same size and same resolution (they have the dots lit up in the exact same pattern) as the rear route signs. So that "96" in "96 ST - #6" on the front sign is the exact same "96" that shows up on the rear route sign if a bus is signed as an M96. Same number of dots lit up, same orientation and resolution. Also I didn't get a medium "M" but I think it would be enough to just take the medium "W" in "5AV/BWAY" and turn it upside-down to make the medium "M". Additionally when I took the picture of "M42 EAST SIDE U N-1 AV" I accidentally had the camera tilted in such a way that I missed the bottom row of dots. There is also an apparent glare on that sign that shows up in the most inconvenient place, distorting the small letter "U" slightly. And this was the only sign I photographed with the small "U". So I'll make it easier by giving you this below. Each x is a lit LED and each o is a dark LED. x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x o o o x x x x x x x x x o x x x x x o Edit: Some important notes. I was wrong about the NG sign text being similar to the LFSA sign text. When I look closely I notice significant differences. Now there is a lot more work to do. Too bad I don't know anybody that drives a LFSA on a regular basis but I won't lose sight of trying to get some pictures. The thing is, with the stacked small letters, the bottom text on the LFSA may be the same as either the bottom or (not and) top text on a NG but the top text on the LFSA is quite tall. I mean when I look closely I say to myself wow. This can be seen in one of CaitSith's pictures: http://media.photobucket.com/image/bx12%20select%20lfsa/ShaneAKACaitSith/DSC07284.jpg Another important note is that they always make their signs in such a way that the letters on top are taller than the letters on the bottom when the text is stacked. And unfortunately I don't have top and bottom pictures of all the small NG letters. Letters on top are 12 pixels tall and letters on the bottom are 11 pixels tall on the NG sign.
