Yes, thank you! I am looking forward to the pictures from the display and
the press kit.

Of course you are right about the sign originating in Fabuland.
[Fabuland 3662 grey, 3682 grey, 3675 red, 3719 yellow - all in 1987]
The sign itself is not in MM. You might be thinking of the FL grey street
lamp which is in MM 4166 or the FL white sign post column which is in 4167.
