My fascination with electronic destination signs began when the Toronto Transit Commission (Toronto, Ontario) started introducing them in their
fleet in 1991. Through some fluke (or slip up) in 1996, one of the TTC's GMC New Looks went to scrap with its Luminator electronic signs still
installed, and with that my collection began. I studied the system and how it worked, it's intricasies and limitations. Over the years, my collection
expanded, with my first Gulton/Luminator system in 1998, my first Vultron TransDot system in 2007, and Luminator Horizon system in 2010.
In May of 2000, I supplied Brampton Transit (Brampton, Ontario) with a refurbished Luminator sign for their Leyland Olympian double decker
bus. In September, 2000, I supplied Barrie Transit (Barrie, Ontario) with five sets of refurbished Luminator signs for their newest buses at the
time, three of which were known to be retrofitted with the signs I supplied. Overall my experience with electronic signs spans about 30 years,
collecting over 50 different models/specifications of electronic signs, and dozens of different system programs for the various models.

The electronic sign gallery and collection have been broken up into their individual manufacturers. Click or tap on a logo below to see the
signs and controllers from each specific manufacturer in the collection. The logo outlined in green is the collection page you are currently viewing.

TRANSIGN/GULTON Hybrid signs)
