This story was (believe it or not) on the front page of our local paper, the South Washington County (MN) Bulletin. Myra Peterson, an outgoing county commissioner (and longtime commuter rail proponent) donated a pretty large number of her old plastic campaign signs to some local garden modellers, who intend to use them to make structures for their layouts.
Rail hobbyists to use Peterson's campaign signs

Careful with using campaign signs, though. I used some a few years ago, and the buildings have started leaning--some to the left, some to the right....

I got my stock of coroplast from the friendly neighborhood gas station. They change out their advertising signs several times a year whenever the parent company has a new promotion. Some are nice 2 foot x 4 foot pieces, too! Nothing like free for the asking!
I would like to know what you all use to glue this stuff. I have used hot glue with some success.
