so what you think of a new sign from miller engineering for the $ooLine from the 50's where the line going through the S is also the L  while I'm dreaming how about all the burma shave signs yes I know they weren't a lighted sign but what da hey! what do you say.

Why don't you post a sample of what you have in mind for us to view and critique?

Logo

the original lettering used red neon tube lighting and was a full sized billboard from the 1950's.

I e-mailed miller engineering they liked it but said they were releasing the more popular railway signs but didn't say they wouldn't produce it so we'll just have to wait and see.

Nice!

It will be interesting to see if Miller Engineering decides to produce it.  Keep us posted.

How big would the sign be made?

Would it work better for an O Scale building like the Walthers Cornerstone Depot or one of the RailKing 3-Story Brick Buildings?

I wonder if it would be possible to also have them make a 1974 SOO Logo to show a change in time periods.

I would assume same size as the regular ones but a 3" highx4" wide would be about right
