I'll see if I have any extra Platolene maps (I don't think so), but here are a couple from the personal stock of my dad and I:

A friend from Southern Cali had a 6ft porcelain sign for sale about a year ago. Don't know if he still has it. Think he was asking $4 or 5k for it. Let me know if interested and I'll put you in contact

They must have made 400 of these signs... every station must have had 10 each. LOL
