| This mylar front route sign was designed for one of Kitchener Transit's 1987 built MCI Classics (numbered in the 8800 series). Compared to the c.1989 one to the right, this one is much closer to how it looked as it was originally printed, with only three (dark red) exposures added after the fact. Other modifications may have happened as well since there's several splices in the sign. Its original print date is December 7, 1987 and it has 60 exposures. This rollsign was donated to Rollsign Gallery by John McDonnell. |

| This mylar front route sign was designed for one of Kitchener Transit's 1989 built MCI Classics. Unlike the sign to the left, this one has been heavily modified from how it was originally printed, with several new exposures added or substituted in. This original sign would have been the last full rollsign style created for any new buses, as the 1989 Orion V buses got signs from this same print run, and the 1990 order of new Orion V buses had electronic signs. This sign has 76 exposures. Its sign tag is shown below. This rollsign was donated to Rollsign Gallery by John McDonnell. |
