tomkat-13,
Just wanted to say thanks for the signs. I have saved most of them to my computer system and even used a few on recent projects. I thought you might like to see how they were put to use:
Here are a couple of pictures of my General Store:
There are a few more pictures on my website. Thanks again and keep them coming.

Here are some building flats I made with photos & added some signs & doors to them. I printed them on card stock, cut them out, trim away the background. You can mount them right on your backdrop or add a stiff backing to the card stock to make a stand-alone scene.
Thanks again for your efforts! This link http://s1131.photobucket.com/albums/m547/mecovey/ has some of my budding efforts at scenery and all of the signs came from you. Thanks again

NICE!...... I always enjoy seeing how others use the signs. I will keep on looking for more signs & billboards. Lets see some more photos from others. Tkat.
Yow! Crystal Beach! That's a name out of my past, if it's the same one I'm thinking of. There was a Crystal Beach amusement park outside of Vermillion, Ohio, maybe 15-20 miles West of where I live, on the Sunny Southern Shore of Lake Erie (well, maybe not so sunny right now)! They closed sometime in the early 50s, before I had a chance to get there. Opened in 1907, a miniature railroad built about 1924, a roller coaster was built in 1928 for $50,000, park closed in 1958, and the roller coaster sold at auction in 1962 for $400, along with a number of other park buildings. Kind of a nostalgia trip, there.
Here is a flat background building of a power sub-station & a brick wall made for a feed mill. Also some smaller buildings, Power & Light Co., Cafe, Saloon, Barber Shop, & run down brick shed.
WOW !!!!
I'm new to the forums, not to modeling.
Going to have to get a good supply of ink.
Great Post!
Thanks for Sharing

Thanks for the new signs and building fronts. I've filed them away for future reference and use.
You are providing a valuable service to modelers everywhere. Thanks again.
I have used some of your signs to liven up some of my buildings and other portions of the BRVRR layout. An upcoming project is to apply several feed grain, seed and other agricultural products signs to my grain elevator scene.
If you are interested, some of the signs I have used are shown on the What's New Page of my website. Link is in my signature.

It would take at least 1 paper ream.
My latest file-download total is 560+ -- And another 30+ including signs on buildings -- But who's counting?
If I were to print to 3-hole-punch: I would also print the filename on the hardcopy for quick reference, and; by using the trusty-old B+W Laserjet that most excellently greyscales.
Any desired sign will then be cropped out to be a color deskjet to hardcopy.
P.S.: B+W Laserjet is how Information Station PDFs go to my notebook hardcopy
