Custom Schindler TXPress Modded Westinghouse Traction Elevators - Metroview Building (Charlotte, NC)

While it's another case of more modded Westys, this mod is one of a kind.

It was (of course) modded by Schindler, but they ended up using PTL Fixtures. This mod uses PTL's Metropolis Global series, which is more of an old school panel design (it's also funny because both the series name and the building name start with Metro, coincidence?). The buttons are just a mix of PTL Performer (which generally isn't offered with this series) and EPCO Bar Buttons. These don't run too well, but the mod is definitely unique for a Schindler mod.
