Re: Signs for your layout

 Thank you.... I'm always on the look out "old-time" signage such as these.

Re: Signs for your layout

 You've done a great job collecting these.  Here's a little token of my appreciation...

I really have to get to work on building a minor league ball field...  Those old signs would make a hell of an outfield fence!

Re: Signs for your layout

 Thanks Tomkat. I always save the signs that you post and have used a few on some of my buildings so far. I appreciate you sharing.

Re: Signs for your layout

Thanks, pardner.  You've made my day!

Just a little less than PC, though.  "Buxom Melons," and a whole sheet of tobacco products...

My only problem?  Wrong language...

Re: Signs for your layout

Here's a couple that I've put into play on my N scale layout... (It's nice to have a color laser at work!)  I've also built a few billboards for placement around the layout.  Need to take some pictures of them...

Just copy & past the jpg file to your computer. You can re-size for different scales in MS Publisher, MS Word or program of your choice. You can print on paper, card stock, or for metal signs photo paper. I have not tried decal paper but it should work also. For older or faded signs you can use an off-white card stock. I use two sided tape but white glue or glue of choice.

Re: Signs for your layout

Here is the next page of signs. Lets see how you can use signs on your own layout! I like looking for these signs, some I plan on using on my own layout, others I just like & put them out there for others to use.
