Greetings fellow train junkies....oopps, sorry, "Addicts" I thought some time ago I read about a web site that allows us to down load HO scale signs for buildings and such.
I tried the web brouser and I don't think I'm putting in the right description?
Anyone know about this site or even if such a thing is around?
I need a sign or two for a Factory that I'm scratch building...Tanks.
Happy Rails!
Also I copy signs & billboards off ebay (or other places on the web). Go to collectables-advertising or collectables-paper, then search for signs, copy & paste image to a publisher desk top, crop & size for your scale.....
N scale 1 inch = 13.3 ft. HO scale 1 inch = 7.2 ft. S scale 1 inch = 5.3 ft. O scale 1 inch = 4 ft.
( HO for me ). then save to a file. Then you can print on paper, cardstock or full sticker page. With full sticker just cut out, trim and stick to a stiff backing or right to a building. With paper or cardstock you can use double sided tape or glue of your choice. If you print on photo paper you get a glossy like metal sign that. You can build the frame for billboards from wood stick matches or scale lumber.

These signs on the cafe I scanned from a sign catalog.
You can also copy people, Background buildings, interiors, ect.
This is off a postcard found on ebay under collectables/paper/postcards. These are great to use as background buidings.
These are old ink blotters copied off ebay, found under collectables/paper/ink blotters. Most are rectangle and make nice billboards.
These buildings were copied of postcards on ebay and make great background buildings! The ideas are endless....just look for signs that match the era you model.
Thanks Tomkat,
These are great and I will try and pluck some off the internet also.
You've been a big help!
