After  rummaging through G'pa's notes/photos, it appears that the signal 
cases on  the Erie (At least on the west end, in Signal Gang #51's territory  
[Huntington and points west]) were secured with a mixture of locks. I've  
seen evidence of the Yale padlocks with both cast and stamped Erie marks  
(EL, stamped only) as well as the screw-type (Rayco?) locks with at least  
three different key shapes (Triangle, hex and square).

Now, as far  as my "giving" my locks & keys to NS...(Pause for evil maniacal  
laughter) Not in this or any other lifetime!

I think the NS would appreciate your input on  signal locks.  I  think they 
are just trying to be in the ball park as to being  authentic.   Over time I'm 
sure numerous types of locks were used. Any  of those would beat going  to  
the Ace Hardware store  !    I would hope that anyone  with serious thoughts or 
hardware would contact Michael off list, thus my  posting his email address. 
If you read his email carefully, he's not necessarily  looking to be given a 
lock and key.  He states that the NS would be willing  to buy it!
